Rankings from AP Poll

The 2021 Arizona State Sun Devils football team represented Arizona State University in the 2021 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Sun Devils played their home games at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, and competed in the South Division of the Pac-12 Conference. They were led by fourth-year head coach Herm Edwards.

On April 19, 2024, Arizona State vacated all 8 of their wins from the 2021 season due to NCAA violations stemming from Arizona State offering recruiting inducements, impermissible tryouts and tampering. [1] Arizona State ended the season with an 0–5 record.
