The 2021 season was the Cleveland Browns' 69th season as a member of the National Football League (NFL), their 73rd overall and their second under head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry. The Browns finished 8–9, failing to improve upon their 11–5 record from 2020. They did not qualify for the playoffs. For the 75th anniversary of the team's founding in 1946, the Browns introduced a commemorative logo in January to use for the season.
