The 2020–21 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 54th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[1] This was also the second season with head coach Alain Vigneault. On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada–United States border. As a result of this realignment, the Flyers played this season in the East Division and played against only the other teams in their new division during the regular season.
