The 2010–11 Saudi Professional League (known as the Zain Professional League for sponsorship reasons) was the 35th season of the Saudi Professional League, the top Saudi professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1976. The season began on 14 August 2010, and ended on 20 May 2011.[4] Al-Hilal were the defending champions.[5] The league was contested by the 12 teams from the 2009–10 season as well as Al-Faisaly and Al-Taawoun, who joined as the promoted clubs from the 2009–10 First Division. No teams were relegated the previous season following the decision to increase the number of teams from 12 to 14.[6]

On 29 April, defending champions Al-Hilal won their thirteenth League title with two games to spare after a 1–0 home win over Al-Raed.[7]

Al-Hazem were the first team to be relegated following a 2–0 away defeat to Al-Taawoun.[8] Al-Wehda became the second and final team to be relegated following the decision to dock 3 points from them.[9]
