The 2020–21 season was the first season of Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División B, the Spanish third tier, since 1981. The club was relegated from Segunda División after two seasons in the second tier, finishing in 19th place on goal difference.[1][2] The team went through a series of 6 matches without a win which greatly reduced their chances of promotion to La Liga Smartbank.[3] Finally, the team managed to stay in the third division by one point, after it was threatened with a possible humiliating relegation to the Segunda Federación.[4]
