It began on 15 August 2010 and ended regular season ended on 1 May 2011. For the first time the 2nd Bundesliga was won by a reserve team, when Hamburg II won the northern division.

Eventually Hamburg II announced that they would withdraw from the league in the following  season due to financial concerns. Cloppenburg and Löchgau, the tenth-place finishers from both divisions, were thus spared a relegation playoff against each other and instead stay in the league. The southern division was won by Freiburg. League tables. Note: Reserve teams from Fußball-Bundesliga sides were not eligible for promotion.
