The 2010–11 Liga I was the ninety-third season of the top-level football league of Romania. The season commenced on 23 July 2010 and ended on 21 May 2011. A winter break where no matches were played was held between 11 December 2010 and 18 February 2011. A total of eighteen teams participated in the league, where Oţelul Galaţi were the defending champions.
Politehnica Iaşi, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Unirea Alba Iulia were relegated to Liga II after finishing the 2009–10 season in the bottom three places. Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Unirea Alba Iulia made their immediate return to the second level, while Politehnica Iaşi ended a six-year tenure in the highest football league of Romania. 15th-placed team Pandurii Târgu Jiu, who originally were to be relegated as well, were allowed to remain in Liga I after Internaţional Curtea de Argeş withdrew from the league because of financial reasons. Internaţional thus returned to Liga II after having been promoted the previous season.
The four relegated teams were replaced by the champions and runners-up from both 2009–10 Liga II divisions. Victoria Brăneşti and Sportul Studenţesc were promoted from Seria I while Târgu Mureş and Universitatea Cluj were promoted from Seria II, with Victoria Brăneşti and Universitatea Cluj being constrained to play their home games on grounds in other cities (than home based) as their did not meet Liga I requirements.
