Pre-season Managerial change Head coach Steve Cooper left the club by mutual consent during pre-season, on 21 July 2021. He was replaced by Russell Martin on 1 August, six days before Swansea's first game of the season.
Friendlies The Swans announced they would have friendlies against Swindon Town, Plymouth Argyle, Bristol Rovers, and Forest Green Rovers and Southampton as part of the club's pre-season preparations. However, the friendly against Swindon was cancelled due to "ongoing logistical and operational issues" at Swindon. The friendly against Bristol Rovers was also cancelled due to positive COVID-19 cases within Swansea's first-team bubble.
