Kalamazoo FC began its first season under new coach Shane Lyons after seeing the 2020 season cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Along with a new coaching staff, the 2021 season saw KZFC switch to USL League 2 specifically being placed in the Great Lakes Division of the Central Conference. After a couple pre-season friendlies, the club won their inaugural USL League 2 match versus South Bend Lions 1-0 thanks to a late volley from midfielder Daire O-Riordan. Early season results would send KZFC to the top of the table with outside pressure coming from Cincinnati Kings Hammer and Flint City Bucks. It would take until the ninth match of the season for Kalamazoo FC to succumb to their only defeat of the regular season, falling away to Oakland County FC in a downpour. In the second half of the season, Kalamazoo FC would earn 1-0 victories over fellow top of the table contenders to cement their status as playoff contenders. Offensive efforts led by Cyrus Harmon, Enrique Banuelos and Daire O'Riordan would complement a stout defensive unit an continue the club's rise through the power rankings throughout the summer, earning a spot as high as number 12 in the nation according to USL League 2. In their final match of the season at Fort Wayne FC, it would take a couple second-half tallies from forward Enrique Banuelos to secure the victory and henceforth the division title. With the result, the club secured the number two seed for the Central Conference Playoffs and would travel south to Mississippi to take on Corpus Christi FC for the club's first ever post-season appearance.Team Awards
