The final was contested between Arsenal and Chelsea on 5 December 2021 at Wembley Stadium in London and broadcast on BBC1. Chelsea won 3–0 in front of a crowd of 40,942 to clinch their third title.
Originally scheduled to be played in May 2021, the match was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. The alternative date in December was chosen to symbolically coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the FA's infamous ruling to ban women's football from the grounds of all its affiliated clubs.[2]
