Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková were the reigning champions, but were unable to defend their title as Krejčíková tested positive for COVID-19 before their first round match. As a result, Elise Mertens regained the WTA No. 1 doubles ranking from Siniaková. The elimination of Sania Mirza and Lucie Hradecká in the third round guaranteed two first-time French Open doubles finalists from the top half of the draw, those ultimately being Gauff and Pegula.

Mertens and Mirza were vying to complete the career Grand Slam, but Mertens lost in the third round to Xu Yifan and Yang Zhaoxuan, while Mirza lost in the third round to Gauff and Pegula.
