The 2011 Virginia Cavaliers football team represents the University of Virginia in the 2011 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cavaliers will be led by second year head coach Mike London and will play their home games at Scott Stadium. They are members of the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Previous Season

The Cavaliers went 4-8 in 2010, their third losing season in a row, and first under new head coach Mike London. Despite having an off-season recruiting class among the best in the country, a major upset versus the then #22 Miami Hurricanes, and a near-upset in the week two game versus the University of Southern California Trojans, the Cavaliers were plagued by penalties (ranked 117th out of 120 in the country) and turnovers, and finished 5th in the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal divison.
