The '''[[2021 WNBA season|2021]] [[Chicago Sky]] season''' was the franchise's 16th season in the [[Women's National Basketball Association]] (WNBA). This was their third season under head coach [[James Wade (basketball)|James Wade]]. In the postseason, the Sky won their first WNBA championship.
The offseason was marked by two-time [[WNBA MVP]] [[Candace Parker]] joining the team. The Sky started the season with two wins but followed with a seven-game losing streak through mid-June. However, they proceeded to go on a seven-game winning streak that included back-to-back wins over eventual top seed [[2021 Connecticut Sun season|Connecticut]]. They entered the mid-season Olympic break with a 10–10 record. After the break, they recorded a 4–3 record in August, including back-to-back road wins in [[2021 Seattle Storm season|Seattle]]. In September, they began with a road loss and closed out the season with a four game home-stand that they split 2–2, finishing the season 16–16.
The Sky entered the [[2021 WNBA Playoffs|playoffs]] as the sixth seed. They hosted the [[2021 Dallas Wings season|Dallas Wings]] in the First Round, and won in dominating fashion 81–64. They faced the [[2021 Minnesota Lynx season|Minnesota Lynx]] on the road in the Second Round, winning the game 89–76. Facing the first-seeded [[2021 Connecticut Sun season|Connecticut Sun]] in a best-of-three semifinals series, they won the Game 1 in a double overtime thriller but lost Game 2 on the road. The series returned home to Chicago, where the Sky won both games to win the series 3–1.
The Sky reached the Finals for the first time since [[2014 Chicago Sky season|2014]]. They were only the third team to reach the finals with a record of .500 or below, and the lowest seed to do so since the new playoff format was introduced in 2016. In the [[2021 WNBA Finals|WNBA Finals]], the Sky defeated the [[2021 Phoenix Mercury season|Phoenix Mercury]] in four games to win their first WNBA championship. Their only loss came in overtime in Game 2.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/32421201/2021-wnba-finals-candace-parker-legacy-comes-full-circle-leads-chicago-sky-first-wnba-championship |title= 2021 WNBA Finals - Candace Parker's legacy comes full circle as she leads Chicago Sky to first WNBA championship |first=Mechelle |last=Voepel |website=ESPN.com |date=October 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/32419158/chicago-rallies-phoenix-win-first-wnba-crown-sky-kahleah-copper-named-mvp |title=Chicago rallies past Phoenix to win first WNBA crown; Sky's Kahleah Copper named MVP| first=Mechelle |last=Voepel |website=ESPN.com |date=October 17, 2021}}</ref>

The '''[[2021 WNBA season|2021]] [[Chicago Sky]] season''' was the franchise's 16th season in the [[Women's National Basketball Association]] (WNBA). This was their third season under head coach [[James Wade (basketball)|James Wade]]. In the postseason, the Sky won their first WNBA championship.
The offseason was marked by two-time [[WNBA MVP]] [[Candace Parker]] joining the team. The Sky started the season with two wins but followed with a seven-game losing streak through mid-June. However, they proceeded to go on a seven-game winning streak that included back-to-back wins over eventual top seed [[2021 Connecticut Sun season|Connecticut]]. They entered the mid-season Olympic break with a 10–10 record. After the break, they recorded a 4–3 record in August, including back-to-back road wins in [[2021 Seattle Storm season|Seattle]]. In September, they began with a road loss and closed out the season with a four game home-stand that they split 2–2, finishing the season 16–16.
The Sky entered the [[2021 WNBA Playoffs|playoffs]] as the sixth seed. They hosted the [[2021 Dallas Wings season|Dallas Wings]] in the First Round, and won in dominating fashion 81–64. They faced the [[2021 Minnesota Lynx season|Minnesota Lynx]] on the road in the Second Round, winning the game 89–76. Facing the first-seeded [[2021 Connecticut Sun season|Connecticut Sun]] in a best-of-three semifinals series, they won the Game 1 in a double overtime thriller but lost Game 2 on the road. The series returned home to Chicago, where the Sky won both games to win the series 3–1.
The Sky reached the Finals for the first time since [[2014 Chicago Sky season|2014]]. They were only the third team to reach the finals with a record of .500 or below, and the lowest seed to do so since the new playoff format was introduced in 2016. In the [[2021 WNBA Finals|WNBA Finals]], the Sky defeated the [[2021 Phoenix Mercury season|Phoenix Mercury]] in four games to win their first WNBA championship. Their only loss came in overtime in Game 2.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/32421201/2021-wnba-finals-candace-parker-legacy-comes-full-circle-leads-chicago-sky-first-wnba-championship |title= 2021 WNBA Finals - Candace Parker's legacy comes full circle as she leads Chicago Sky to first WNBA championship |first=Mechelle |last=Voepel |website=ESPN.com |date=October 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/32419158/chicago-rallies-phoenix-win-first-wnba-crown-sky-kahleah-copper-named-mvp |title=Chicago rallies past Phoenix to win first WNBA crown; Sky's Kahleah Copper named MVP| first=Mechelle |last=Voepel |website=ESPN.com |date=October 17, 2021}}</ref>
