The 2010–11 Czech First League season, known as the Gambrinus liga for sponsorship reasons, was the 18th edition of the top flight Czech First League annual football tournament. It began on 16 July 2010 and finished on 28 May 2011.

Sparta Prague were the 2010 champions, their 11th Czech Republic championship.

Teams

FK Bohemians and SK Kladno were relegated to the 2010–11 Czech 2. Liga after finishing last and second to last, respectively, in the 2009–10 season; Bohemians were denied a license to play professional football the following season and were thus further demoted to the Bohemian Football League (third division) in June 2010.[4]

The relegated teams were replaced by 2009–10 2. Liga champions FC Hradec Králové and runners-up FK Ústí nad Labem.

In further changes, 1. FC Brno were renamed FC Zbrojovka Brno effective to the beginning of this season.[5]

Following trouble at their Czech Cup semi-final match, which was abandoned at half time and awarded 3–0 to the visiting team, SK Slavia Prague were fined 750,000 CZK and ordered to play three home games behind closed doors.[6] Since there were only two home matches left in the season, one was suspended until the next season.[7]

European competitions

2010–11 UEFA Champions League

Sparta Prague started in the second qualifying round of this season's Champions League. After defeating Latvian side FK Liepājas Metalurgs by a 5–0 aggregate scoreline, they qualified for the next round. Sparta defeated Polish side Lech Poznań in the third qualifying round, winning both matches by a score of 1–0. Losing 2–0 and 1–0 to Slovak team Žilina in the play-off round ended Sparta's involvement in the competition for this season.

2010–11 Europa League

Baník Ostrava was the only Czech team involved in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. They got past Georgian side WIT Georgia with a 0–0 second leg result, having won the first match 6–0. In the third round, Viktoria Plzeň and Jablonec also entered the competition, however all three Czech teams lost: Baník Ostrava 3–1 on aggregate to Belarus side Dnepr Mogilev, Viktoria Plzeň 4–1 on aggregate to Turkish club Beşiktaş, and Jablonec also 4–1 on aggregate to APOEL of Cyprus.

Sparta Prague qualified for the group stage of the Europa League due to their performance in the Champions League. With results of two wins, three draws and one loss, they finished second in Group F, behind CSKA Moscow (Russia) but ahead of Palermo (Italy) and Lausanne Sport (Switzerland). They therefore advanced to the knockout phase of the competition. English side Liverpool provided the opposition; after a goalless first game in Prague, a single goal from striker Dirk Kuyt eliminated Sparta from the Europa League, 1–0 in the match and on aggregate.
