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|
