The 2010-11 season is Blackpool F.C.'s debut season in the Premier League, after winning the 2009-10 Championship play-off Final. It is also their first season in the top tier of English football since 1971. It is Ian Holloway's second season as manager.

The talk during the build-up to the new season was mainly centred around the club's lack of activity in the transfer market. Indeed, 81 days past between the play-off Final and the first arrivals at Bloomfield Road for the forthcoming season. After the release of five players, plus the sale of Ben Burgess to Notts County and the forced retirement of Stephen McPhee, coupled with the departure of the five loan players who finished the 2009-10 campaign at the club, Ian Holloway had just fifteen senior players at his disposal.[1] On 11 August, however, the club replaced those five players with a quintet of new faces.[2] A sixth, Chris Basham from Bolton Wanderers, followed two days later.[3] On 13 August, the eve of the new term, Blackpool had a first-team squad of 26; however, the advent of a new Premier League rule means that, on 1 September, the maximum squad size for each club will be 25.[4]

Several players, including Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Jason Euell and Charlie Adam, kept the squad number assigned to them for the 2009-10 season despite their number not falling inside the traditional 1 to 11. Paul Rachubka retained the number 1 shirt despite being second choice to Matthew Gilks the previous campaign.

Blackpool's squad for their opening Premier League fixture, at Wigan Athletic, was:
