The 2021 World Stock Car Championship is the 72nd season of World Stock Car Championship racing and the 53rd of the sport's "modern era". The season began on March 8 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park with the 76th running of The Icebreaker Sweepstakes, and concludes on November 21 in New York City. The season was heavily-affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; the full schedule was not finalized prior to the season's start, with series officials making it clear that the series would confirm overseas races as countries opened up and when they could be operated safely. As such, the 2021 schedule was treated as tentative when it was released.
