The previous season, 2020, was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic and was subsequently declared null and void.[2] Following this cancellation, Scottish Women's Football reverted to the winter-season format last used in 2008–09.[3] The 2020–21 season was interrupted for more than three months by the pandemic.[4][5][6]

Aberdeen won the SWPL 2 title and were promoted alongside runners-up Hamilton Academical.[7][8] Partick Thistle were later added as a third promoted club, after Forfar Farmington withdrew from the SWPL.[9]

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
