Due to the Canada–United States border restrictions brought in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Flames were re-aligned with the other six Canadian franchises into the newly-formed North Division. The league's 56-game regular season was played entirely within the new divisions, meaning that Calgary and the other Canadian teams played an all-Canadian schedule for the 2020–21 regular season as well as the first two rounds of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Flames were eliminated from playoff contention on May 10 after the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4–3 in overtime.
