Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
(C) Champions; (R) Relegated
Notes:

1. Slovan Bratislava, winners of the 2010–11 Slovak Cup, qualified for the Champions League. Since cup runners-up MŠK Žilina are also already assured of a top-four finish, the distribution of all three Europa League spots (both regular spots plus the cup winners' spot) effectively reverted to league placement.

Results

The schedule consisted of three rounds. The two first rounds consisted of a conventional home and away round-robin schedule. The pairings of the third round were set according to the 2009–10 final standings. Every team played each opponent once for a total of 11 games per team.
