Serie A 2010-2011

Serie A Season 2010–11 ← 2009–10 2011–12 →

The 2010–11 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) will be the seventy-ninth season since its establishment, the first under a league committee separate from Serie B. In addition, a new match ball - the Nike T90 Tracer - will serve as the official ball for all matches. The league will feature seventeen teams returning from the 2009–10 Serie A, plus three teams promoted from 2009–10 Serie B (two as direct promotions, one as playoff winners). On 30 May 2010 Lecce and Cesena won direct promotion to the Serie A by finishing first and second respectively. Brescia became the third Serie B team promoted on 13 June 2010 by winning the promotion playoff final 2-1 on aggregate over Torino. It was a quick turn-around for Lecce, which spent only one year in Serie B after being relegated from the 2008–09 Serie A. Cesena last played in Serie A in 1990-91, while Brescia played 5 seasons in Serie B after being relegated from A in 2004-05.
