2020–21 Icelandic Men's Basketball Cup

The 2020–2021 Bikarkeppni karla, named Vís bikarinn for sponsorship reasons, is the 55th edition of the Icelandic Men's Basketball Cup. The competition is managed by the Icelandic Basketball Association (KKÍ) and the final four are to be held in Reykjavík, in the Laugardalshöll, and broadcast live on RÚV. In October 2020, the tournament was postponed, first for two weeks[1] and later indefinitely due to another Coronavirus outbreak in Iceland. On 28 January 2021, KKÍ announced that the competition would begin on 22 April and end on 1 May, featuring 16 teams and would be sponsored by the insurance company VÍS.[2]
