2021 marked the 45th straight season that a Summer Series has been held.

ABC and ESPN return as television broadcast partners for the 19th straight season.

Following a season in the bubble in Florida due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Golden State Warriors finally begin playing at the Chase Center in San Francisco, replacing their longtime home, the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

In addition to that, the games (and the remaining teams besides the Warriors) return to the regular cities and arenas following a season of difficulty and adjustment due to COVID-19.

In addition, a large portion of the 2021 NBA: Summer Series preseason, regular season & select first round postseason broadcasts were done remotely to COVID-19 protocols. Most of the scheduled ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU etc. broadcasts (with some exceptions) were done remotely, with the sideline reporter on-site (following COVID guidelines). Meanwhile, every game broadcast on ABC saw the broadcasters on-site (for pretty obvious reasons), but working from the upstairs portions of the arena due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, for the beginning of the 2021 NBA Playoffs Conference Semifinals round, the broadcasters were allowed to return courtside for the game calls (the broadcast opens were performed from the broadcast booth; on-court broadcast opens didn't return until the 2022 season).

The Toronto Raptors relocated to Tampa, Florida and played at Amalie Arena, the home of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, for this season only (instead of playing at their normal home, the Scotiabank Arena, in Toronto) due to COVID-19 restrictions forcing the Raptors to move to the United States.

This season marked the debut of the NBA's first-ever Play-in Tournament, a mini tournament held in-between the end of regular season and the beginning of the NBA Playoffs. The Play-in Tournament features teams seeded #7 through #10 in each conference battling for each conference's last two playoff berths. Each conference will have three Play-in Tournament games each (two play-in games and an 8th place game).
