The match was contested by the winners of the 2020–21 Eredivisie and the 2020–21 KNVB Cup on 7 August 2021.

As Ajax won both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup, the Eredivisie runners-up, PSV Eindhoven, participated in the 2021 Johan Cruyff Shield.

The defending champions were Ajax, who won the 2019 Johan Cruyff Shield. The 2020 Johan Cruyff Shield was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.
