The following is a list of events, premieres, releases, cancellations, series endings, and other business ventures for Nickelodeon in 2021. Many events that were originally planned for 2021 were either cancelled or postponed due to the highly-contagious Delta variant's impact on life and businesses throughout the world during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus 2019) pandemic and its impact on Nickelodeon.
