Season overview edit

On 2 July, Qarabağ announced the return of Wilde-Donald Guerrier from Neftçi.[1]

On 10 July, Qarabağ announced the signing of Emil Balayev.[2]

On 19 July, Kevin Medina signed a three-year contract with Qarabağ.[3]

On 26 July, Uroš Matić signed for Qarabağ on a three-year contract from Copenhagen.[4]

On 1 August, Hajiagha Hajili joined Zira on loan for the season.[5]

On 28 August, Qarabağ announced the signing of Patrick Andrade to a two-year contract, with the option of a third, from Cherno More Varna.[6]

On 30 September, Qarabağ's match against Sabail scheduled for 4 October was postponed to allow Azerbaijan additional preparation time for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.[7]

On 20 October, UEFA announced that all UEFA matches played by Azerbaijani or Armenian clubs must take place at a neutral venue due to the ongoing 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This resulted in Qarabağ's UEFA Europe League home match against Villarreal being moved to the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul.[8]

On 8 December, Qarabağ's final UEFA Europa League group match, against Villarreal, was postponed as Qarabağ did not have enough players due to COVID-19 infections.[9] The match was awarded 3-0 to Villarreal on 18 December.[10]

On 2 January, Musa Gurbanli moved to Zira on loan for the rest of the season.[11]

On 31 January, Wilde-Donald Guerrier left Qarabağ by mutual consent.[12]
