The SBX Kickback Battle 2021, also simply referred to as the Kickback Battle 2021, was an online beatboxing competition organized by Swissbeatbox. The event took place over two months, starting on January 28, 2021 with Seeding Rounds and ending on March 28, 2021 with the Finals.
This battle was not a live event, but rather consisted of video submissions by participants. Participants were sent "a specific home [audio] setup" to record routines that were subsequently mixed and mastered and presented through videos on Swissbeatbox's YouTube channel.

The event was announced on December 7, 2020.[1] Wildcard submissions opened the following day and closed on December 22[2] with 280 entries. The wildcards were judged by Fredy Beats, Pepouni, and Sinjo.[3]
