In the 2021–22 season, Espérance Sportive de Tunis competed in the Ligue 1 for the 67th season, as well as the Tunisian Cup. It was their 67th consecutive season in the top flight of Tunisian football. They competed in Ligue 1, the Champions League, the Tunisian Cup, 2019–20 Tunisian Super Cup and the 2020–21 Tunisian Super Cup.

On the domestic front, Espérance de Tunis delivered two trophies out of possible four, winning the Ligue 1, in the last round after a late 2–1 win against US Ben Guerdane, and the 2020–21 Tunisian Super Cup, but they left the Tunisian Cup against CS M'saken after a 1–1 draw after 120 minutes and a 6–5 loss on penalties.

On the continental front, Espérance de Tunis left the Champions League from the quarter-finals after a surprise loss to ES Sétif with a score of 1–0 on aggregate.

This season was the last for the two team legends, Khalil Chemmam and Sameh Derbali, who announced their retirement at the end of the season.
