2020–21 Iranian Volleyball Super League

The Iranian Volleyball Super League 2020–21 was the 34th season of the Iranian Volleyball Super League, the highest professional volleyball league in Iran. The season started on 9 September 2020[1] and ended on 16 March 2021. IRIVF announced on 2 September 2020 that Shahrdari Qazvin were excluded from the league due to non-fulfillment of their obligations. Shahrvand Arak replaced them. But, Shahrdari Qazvin took the necessary measures for its financial obligations after being eliminated from the league and re-applied to participate in the league. On 6 September 2020, since all participating teams agreed, it was announced that Shahrdari Qazvin would participate in the league. Due to COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, the season was suspended on 10 October 2020[2] and resumed on 8 November 2020.[3] Since the season resumed, the regular season matches were held at the neutral venues in Tehran (Azadi Volleyball Hall and Tehran House of Volleyball).
