Background
The 2021 season was the Revolution's 26th season of existence, and their 26th season in MLS, the top tier of American soccer. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Revolution began the season on April 17, and the season concluded on November 7. The Revolution were slated to play in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup in addition to MLS play, but the tournament was cancelled by U.S. Soccer due to logistical challenges associated with the pandemic.
During the club regular season, the Revolution amassed a total of 73 points, off of a record of 22–5–7, which set the record for the most points obtained in the regular season. At the end of the regular season, manager Bruce Arena won the Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year Award, for the best coach of the 2021 season.[1] Goalkeeper Matt Turner won the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award, and Carles Gil won the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award. Four players from the Revolution were named to the MLS Best XI for the 2021 season, which was tied for the second most in league history. Turner, Gil, Tajon Buchanan, and Gustavo Bou were named to the Best XI.[2]
Outside of MLS play, the club qualified for the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs. In the Conference Semifinals (or Quarterfinals), the Revolution lost to eventual MLS Cup finalist, New York City FC on penalties, ending their hopes to be the first MLS team to complete the league double (winning both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup) since 2017.

| Note: Due to a suspension of CONCACAF competition matches in Haiti which has been in force since December 2021 due to safety and security concerns, the match cannot be held in Haiti. Instead, the first leg was intended to be played at New England Revolution's home stadium, Gillette Stadium where Cavaly AS would play as the home team.[4][5] On February 15, 2022, Cavaly notified CONCACAF that the club was unable to play at the United States due to club being unable to obtain the necessary visas to play in the United States, officially causing Cavaly to withdraw from the competition and New England Revolution to advance to the quarterfinals.[6] | ||||
