The 2010–11 Football League (known as the npower Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 112th completed season of the Football League. It began in August 2010 and concluded in May 2011, with the promotion play-off finals.

The Football League is contested through three Divisions. The divisions are the League Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner up of the League Championship are automatically promoted to the Premier League and they are joined by the winner of the League Championship playoff. The bottom two teams in League Two are relegated to the Conference Premier.

This was the first season that npower sponsored the league, after Coca-Cola's contract expired at the end of the 2009–10 season.[1]
