The 2020–21 season was F.C. Motagua's 74th season in existence and the club's 55th consecutive season in the top fight of Honduran football. In addition to the domestic league, the club also competed for the 2020 CONCACAF League.[1]

Overview

As coach Diego Vásquez renewed his contract, he led the team for his 14th consecutive tournament. After two straight defeats against C.D. Olimpia and Nicaraguan side Real Estelí FC at the 2020 CONCACAF League, F.C. Motagua was unable to qualify to their second straight CONCACAF Champions League.[2] Only one month later, the team was eliminated from domestic contention (Apertura) against Olimpia in the so called "Final de Liguilla" (Playoffs finals).[3] In May 2021, Motagua was unable to reach another final as they lost to Olimpia in the Clausura Playoff final series in penalty shoot-outs.[4]

Kits

The 2020–21 home and away kits were published on 25 September, one day before their debut in the Apertura tournament. Unlike previous seasons, no third kit was released.
