Pre-season

Stoke announced their retained list on 1 June 2021 with Jordan Cousins the only senior player leaving whilst James Chester and John Obi Mikel signed one-year contract extensions.[2] The club also posted a £87 million loss during the COVID-19 hit 2019–20 season with the losses blamed on the pandemic and "writing down" the value of the squad.[3] Stoke were able to move on a number of players in the summer transfer window including, Benik Afobe, Moritz Bauer, Jordan Cousins, Peter Etebo, Lee Gregory, Mikel John Obi, Liam Lindsay, Bruno Martins Indi, Badou Ndiaye, Lasse Sørensen, Sam Vokes, Kevin Wimmer and Ryan Woods whilst Nathan Collins moved to Burnley for an estimated £12 million.[4] Coming into the squad were goalkeeper Jack Bonham, striker Sam Surridge, midfielder Mario Vrančić and defender Ben Wilmot.

The Stoke squad returned to Clayton Wood for pre-season on 28 June 2021.[5] They played a behind closed doors game against Scottish side Hibernian which ended in a 1–1 draw.[6] Michael O'Neill then took a selected group of players for a week long training camp in Belfast.[7] Stoke ended their week in Belfast with a 6–0 win over Linfield.[8] On their return to England, Stoke beat Crewe Alexandra 3–2 at Gresty Road.[9] Stoke then beat Aston Villa 2–0, lost 2–1 at Wigan Athletic before ending their pre-season schedule with a 1–1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[10][11]

August

Stoke began the season at home to Reading with supporters allowed back into stadiums for the first time since March 2020. Nick Powell scored the opening goal in the 25th minute but Reading equalised immediately through John Swift. Jacob Brown then nutmegged Rafael Cabral to restore Stoke's lead. Liam Moore brought the Royals back level before new signing Sam Surridge scored on his debut to earn Stoke a 3–2 victory and their first opening day win since 2009.[12] The first away match of the season saw Stoke and Birmingham City cancel each other out in a goalless draw.[13] They then put in an impressive performance away at last seasons beaten play-off finalists Swansea City, winning 3–1 with goals from Powell, Clucas and Østigård whilst Joël Piroe scored a late consolation for the Swans.[14] Stoke continued their good start to the season with a 1–0 win against Nottingham Forest, Josh Tymon scoring his first goal for the club.[15] City suffered their first defeat of the campaign on 28 August going down 3–0 at promotion favourites Fulham.[16] On transfer deadline day Stoke brought in right-back Demeaco Duhaney on a short-term contract and forward Abdallah Sima on loan from Brighton.[17]

September

After the international break Stoke faced Huddersfield Town. After the Terriers had taken the lead through Harry Toffolo just after half-time Stoke responded with Brown heading in a corner and an own goal from Matty Pearson which earned Stoke a 2–1 win and their best start to a season for 17 years.[18] Stoke played Barnsley four days later and drew 1–1 with a Cauley Woodrow free-kick cancelling out Surridges opener. The match ended in unsavoury fashion as after Tommy Smith had been sent-off for a foul on Claudio Gomes, tempers boiled over and a scuffle between coaching staff and players resulted in two Stoke staff and one Barnsley staff being dismissed.[19] Stoke were then beaten 2–1 by Derby County who had announced their intention to enter administration the day before.[20] Stoke bounced back with a 2–0 win against Hull City with Vrančić scoring his first goal for the club and Powell scoring a long range free-kick.[21] Stoke missed several chances away at Preston North End with a Benjamin Whiteman free-kick cancelling out Powell's early header.[22]

October

In the Midlands derby against West Bromwich Albion Stoke produced a dominant performance but were again guilty of poor finishing including a missed penalty from Surridge but with ten minutes remaining Powell lobbed Baggies keeper Sam Johnson to earn Stoke a 1–0 victory.[23][24] After the international break Stoke lost 2–1 at Sheffield United and 1–0 to league leaders AFC Bournemouth.[25][26] They then lost a third match in a row, 2–1 away at Millwall despite Romaine Sawyers giving them a 20th minute lead.[27] Stoke ended a unproductive October by blowing a three goal lead at home to Cardiff City in a 3–3 draw.[28]

November

Stoke responded by winning back-to back away games 1–0 against Blackpool and Luton Town.[29] During the international break Stoke announced that Chief Executive Tony Scholes will be leaving to club in January after 17 years in the role.[30] Stoke suffered a major injury blow as Harry Souttar was ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury playing for Australia.[31] After the break Stoke beat newly promoted Peterborough United 2–0 with goals from Vrancic and Tyrese Campbell.[32] Four days later poor finishing cost them as they fell to a 1–0 defeat at Bristol City.[33] Stoke dropped out of the play-off places at the end of November at the expense of Blackburn Rovers who beat them 1–0, Reda Khadra scoring the only goal.[34]

December

Stoke beat Queens Park Rangers 2–0 on 5 December in what was their first win in London since October 2014.[35] City then played out a drab goalless draw against Middlesbrough.[36] Stoke's game against Coventry City on 18 December was postponed following a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.[37]
