The 2010–11 Premier Reserve League (officially known as the 2010-11 Barclays Premier Reserve League for sponsorship reasons) is the twelfth season since the establishment of the Premier Reserve League. The season begins on 25 August 2010[1].
The events in the senior leagues during the 2009–10 season saw Burnley, Hull City and Portsmouth all relegated and replaced by the promoted teams Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool. In addition, Birmingham City[2], Stoke City[3] and Fulham[4] have decided to opt out of the 2010-11 reserve season.
This has resulted in 2 major changes to the 2010-11 season. With the Southern section now only containing six teams, the Northern section has been broken into two groups. Group A consists of Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Wigan Athletic. Group B consists of Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Everton, Liverpool and Sunderland.
The second big change is to the fixture schedule. Each team will play teams in their own group twice (home & away) and they will play the teams from the other groups once. This means each Northern side will play a total of 19 games and the Southern sides will play 20 games during the regular season.
At the conclusion of the league season, the two Northern winners will play off against each other with the winner facing the Southern champions in a one-off final
