On May 2, Gotham qualified for the final of the NWSL Challenge Cup, marking the club's first appearance in a final since the 2009 Women's Professional Soccer playoffs.[1][2] However, following a 1–1 draw with the Portland Thorns, Gotham were defeated 6–5 on penalties in the final.

On August 22, it was announced that head coach Freya Coombe would be taking over Angel City FC for the 2022 National Women's Soccer League season.[3] Although initially slated to remain in her post for the remainder of the season, following concerns about possible conflicts of interest Coombe stepped down on August 29, with her final match in charge being a 1–0 defeat to the Orlando Pride on that day.[4] Scott Parkinson was subsequently announced as Coombe's successor on August 31.[5] On October 30, Gotham qualified for the NWSL playoffs for the first time since 2013,[6][7] but were subsequently eliminated in the first round by the Chicago Red Stars.

As a result of their performances in the East Division of the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup, in which Gotham FC went unbeaten, the club qualified for the championship match on May 2, 2021.[17] However, because West Division champions Portland Thorns FC had a better overall record in the cup, Portland were selected as the home team for the final.
