The 2021–22 Norwich City F.C. season was the club's 120th season in existence and the first season back in the Premier League.[1] [2] In addition to the domestic league, Norwich City also participated in this season's editions of the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

BK8 Sports shirt sponsorship

On 7 June 2021, Norwich City announced that they had terminated the shirt sponsorship with existing sponsor Dafabet and signed a new club record deal with betting firm BK8 Sports.[3] Within hours of the announcement pressure from fans forced BK8 Sports to remove adult content from their social media accounts.[4] Continued pressure from fans and fans groups led to the club and the betting firm cancelling the deal by mutual consent on 10 June.[5] [6] On 25 June the club announced Lotus Cars as their front of shirt sponsor for the 2021–22 Premier League season.[7] JD Sports followed as shirt sleeve sponsor on 9 July.[8]
