The 2021 Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe) was the 63rd edition of the international competition featuring the champions of the Colombian Professional Baseball League, Dominican Professional Baseball League, Mexican Pacific League, Panamanian Professional Baseball League, Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League, and Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. It took place from January 31 to February 6, 2021, at Estadio Teodoro Mariscal in Mazatlán, Mexico.

Spectators were allowed to attend games, though the stadium only operated at 45% of capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions. Face coverings and socially distanced seating guidelines were enforced.

Format

The Preliminary Round consisted of a fifteen-game round robin, after which the top 4 teams advanced to the Semifinal Round (1st vs. 4th, 2nd vs. 3rd). The winners of the semifinal games then squared off in the Final.
