The 1941 Soviet football championship was the 11th seasons of competitive football in the Soviet Union. Dinamo Moscow was a leader of the championship in Group A. The whole season in the Soviet Union was interrupted due to the Nazi Germany invasion of the Soviet Union and opening of the Eastern Front. All of the All-Union competitions were suspended, while some Republican level competitions continued in states that were away from open hostilities.

* CDKA were renamed to Red Army (now CSKA)
* Out of Moscovite Lokomotiv, Torpedo, Metallurg, and Krylya Sovetov were formed teams Profsoyuzy-1 and Profsoyuzy-2.
* Out of Leningradis Avangard, Zenit, and Krasnaya Zaria were formed teams Profsoyuz of Leningrad which was renamed again into Zenit.
* As the Group B liquidated for the 1941 season FC Dinamo Minsk, FC Spartak Odessa, and FC Spartak Kharkiv were promoted along with SC Spartak Leningrad. Presumably FC Spartak Kharkiv was also a merger of Dynamo, and Silmash forming the reformed united city team Spartak, but evidence of that is yet to be found.
