Teams

Real Valladolid, Tenerife and Xerez are the teams which were relegated from La Liga the previous season. Tenerife and Xerez made their immediate return to the second level after just one season in the top division, while Valladolid ended a three-year tenure in La Liga. Real Sociedad was promoted after three consecutive seasons in the second level, Levante was promoted after two seasons and Hércules after 13 seasons, its longest absence from first division.

The teams which were relegated the previous season were Castellón, Real Unión, Murcia and Cádiz. These four were replaced by another four play-off winners from Segunda División B: Granada (2ªB champion), Ponferradina (2ªB runner-up), Barcelona B (play-off winner) and Alcorcón (play-off winner).

Promotion play-offs

Main article: 2011 Segunda División play-offs

This season a new promotion phase (known as Promoción de ascenso) was introduced to determine the third team which promoted to 2011–12 La Liga. Teams placed between third and sixth position (excluding reserve teams) took part in the promotion play-offs. Fifth placed faced against the fourth, while the sixth positioned team faced against the third.

This section not only aims to know this aspect, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
