Summary[edit]

Queens finished sixth in the Championship. The league season was curtailed to 27 matches, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting on 17 October 2020 and ending on 30 April 2021.

The Doonhamers were knocked out after the first round of the League Cup after the completion of fixtures in Group G that included Greenock Morton, Partick Thistle, Queen's Park and St Mirren.

Queens reached the third round of the Scottish Cup, losing 3-1 at Palmerston to eventual runners-up Hibernian.

The Challenge Cup was not held during the 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
