The 2021 NBL–Pilipinas Chairman's Cup, also known as the 2021 Chooks-to-Go NBL Chairman's Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the fourth conference of NBL–Pilipinas. It was also the league's first conference under professional status as recognized by the Games and Amusement Board.[2]

The inaugural pro league season opened on July 18, 2021 with 11 teams.[3][4] However the league was suspended in July 30, 2021 due to stricter COVID-19 community quarantine imposed in Greater Manila.[5] The NBL resumed play on September 18, 2021.[6][7]

The Pampanga Delta clinched the 2021 NBL title at La Union Paower's expense.[8]
