* 1 2 3 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.
