The 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (officially the Brasileirão Assaí 2021 for sponsorship reasons) was the 65th season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top level of professional football in Brazil, and the 18th edition in a double round-robin since its establishment in 2003. The competition began on 29 May and ended on 9 December 2021. Flamengo were the defending champions.
The top six teams as well as the 2021 Copa do Brasil champions qualified for the Copa Libertadores. The next six best-placed teams not qualified for Copa Libertadores qualified for the Copa Sudamericana and the last four were relegated to Série B for 2022.
Atlético Mineiro were the champions, winning their third Série A title on 2 December 2021 with two matches to spare after they defeated Bahia by a 3–2 score.[1]
