'''NFL-sluttspillet i 2020–21''' var [[Sluttspill i National Football League|sluttspillturneringen]] for {{nfly|2020}}-sesongen som begynte 9. januar 2021 og konkluderte med [[Super Bowl LV]] den 7. februar i [[Raymond James Stadium]] i [[Tampa]] i [[Florida]], hvor [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers i NFL-sesongen 2020|Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] slo [[Kansas City Chiefs i NFL-sesongen 2020|Kansas City Chiefs]] 31–9. Det var den første gangen et lag spilte et Super Bowl i sitt eget stadion, etter at [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] nådde tittelkampen etter tre borteseiere på rad i sluttspillet.

Ligaen utvidet sluttspillet fra 12 til 14 lag, la til et tredje wildcard-lag fra hver conference for første gang siden [[NFL-sluttspillet i 1990–91|1990-sesongen]], og valgte å kun tildele første seed i hver conference en bye i første runde. Wildcardrunden ble utvidet fra to til tre kamper per dag.<ref name="ESPN approved playoffs">{{kilde www|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28977365/nfl-owners-vote-approve-expanded-14-team-playoff-format|tittel=NFL owners vote to approve expanded 14-team playoff format|utgiver=ESPN|fornavn=Kevin|etternavn=Seifert|dato=31. mars 2020|besøksdato=11. desember 2020|språk=engelsk}}</ref>
