The 2020–21 Colorado Avalanche season is the 26th operational season and 25th playing season since the franchise relocated from Quebec prior to the start of the 1995–96 NHL season.[1] As well as the franchise's 42nd season in the National Hockey League and 49th season overall. The Avalanche will commemorate their 25th anniversary this season.
On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada–United States border. As a result of this realignment the Avalanche will play this season in the West Division and will only play games against the other teams in their new division during the regular season and potentially the first two rounds of the playoffs.
On April 22, the Avalanche clinched a playoff berth following a 4–2 win over the St. Louis Blues.[2]
