The 2020–21 Austrian Football Bundesliga, also known as Tipico Bundesliga for sponsorship reasons, was the 109th season of top-tier football in Austria. Red Bull Salzburg were the seven-times defending champions.
Mattersburg withdrew from the Bundesliga after 17 seasons due to filing for insolvency, sparing WSG Tirol from relegation.[1] SV Ried was promoted as champions of the 2019–20 Austrian Football Second League after having been relegated from the Bundesliga at the end of the 2016–17 season.

Since the top two teams of the 2020–21 Austrian Football Second League did not receive a license for the Bundesliga, relegation play-offs were played between the last-placed club from the Bundesliga and the best-placed club with a license from the Second League.
Austria Klagenfurt won 5–0 on aggregate.
