The 2020–21 Houston Cougars men's basketball team represented the University of Houston during the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cougars were led by seventh-year head coach Kelvin Sampson as members of the American Athletic Conference. It was the third season that the team played its home games at the Fertitta Center. They won their first ever AAC tournament to clinch an auto-bid to the NCAA tournament, where they were selected as a #2 seed in the Midwest Region. The team advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1984. They eventually lost to Baylor in the Final Four who went on to become the national champions that season.

Schedule and results

COVID-19 impact

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Cougars' schedule is subject to change, including the cancellation or postponement of individual games, the cancellation of the entire season, or games played either with minimal fans or without fans in attendance and just essential personnel.

The Cougars began a home-and-home series with LSU and Alabama beginning in the 2020–2021.^[10]^[11] Both were eventually postponed due to the pandemic.
Houston added a game vs. Our Lady of the Lake on February 6.^[12]
The game @ Cincinnati originally scheduled for February 21 was moved to Houston.^[13]
Houston added a game vs. Western Kentucky on February 25.^[14]
The game @ Memphis originally scheduled for March 7 was moved to Houston, after COVID-related issues with Memphis forced the first scheduled matchup between the teams scheduled for February 14 to be postponed.^[15]
