← 2009–10 | |
The 2010–11 La Liga season (known as the Liga BBVA for sponsorship reasons) is the 80th since its establishment. Barcelona are the defending champions, having won their 20th La Liga title in the previous season for the second time in a row. The campaign began on 28 August 2010 and will end on 22 May 2011. A total of 20 teams contest the league, 17 of which already contested in the 2009–10 season and three of which were promoted from the Segunda División. In addition, a new match ball – the Nike T90 Tracer – serves as the official ball for all matches.[8]
Teams
Real Valladolid, CD Tenerife and Xerez CD were relegated to the Segunda División after finishing the 2009–10 season in the bottom three places. Tenerife and Xerez made their immediate return to the second level after just one year in the Spanish top flight, while Valladolid ended a three-year tenure in La Liga.
The relegated teams were replaced by 2009–10 Segunda División champions Real Sociedad from San Sebastián, runners-up Hércules CF from Alicante and Levante UD from Valencia. Hércules returned to the highest Spanish football league for the first time after 13 years, while Real Sociedad and Levante terminated their second-level status after three and two years, respectively.

Personnel and sponsoring
^ Barcelona's deal with UNICEF is unlike any other agreement between a club and an organization. In this instance, Barcelona pays UNICEF to have the UNICEF logo on their shirts rather than the other way around, which is how most other clubs' deals are.
