The 2021 season for Delko was the 47th season in the team's existence, the sixth as a UCI ProTeam, and the first under the current name.[1] Japanese construction company Nippo Corporation, which had been a co-title sponsor last season, left the team to sponsor UCI WorldTeam EF Education–Nippo instead.[2]

On 11 October, the team ceased operations with immediate effect due to financial difficulties.[3]
