† 2021 MAAC tournament winner

The 2020–21 Saint Peter's Peacocks men's basketball team represented Saint Peter's University in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Peacocks were led by third-year head coach Shaheen Holloway. Due to renovations at their regular home arena, Yanitelli Center, they played their home games at John J. Moore Athletics Center, on the campus of New Jersey City University,^[1] as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. They finished the season 14–11, 10–8 in MAAC play to finish in a tie for third place. As the No. 3 seed in the MAAC tournament, they defeated No. 11 seed Rider in the quarterfinals, and then lost to No. 7 seed Fairfield 47–52 in the semifinals.

Previous season

As the #2 seed in the MAAC tournament, they defeated #7 seed Iona 56–54 in the quarterfinals.^[4] However, the semifinals and championship game, and all postseason tournaments, were cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5]
