The 2010-11 season is Bolton Wanderers 12th season in the Premier League, and their tenth consecutive season in the top division of English football and will cover the period from 1 July 2010 to June 30 2011. Should Bolton Wanderers fail to win the 2010–11 Premier League title, it will be the 72nd time that they have competed at the top level without winning the title, the most of any club.

Pre-Season

On 12 May, Bolton announced that they would be undertaking a three game, pre-season tour of North America, taking in matches at Charlotte Eagles, Charleston Battery and Toronto F.C.. The tour finished with a 100% record, Bolton winning Toronto's annual Carling Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Further games were announced on 29 May, against Rochdale on 24 July and Morecambe on 28 July. The game at Morecambe was designed to be the opening fixture at their new ground, The Globe Arena, but due to site delays the fixture was cancelled and replaced by a fixture at Oldham Athletic, which Bolton lost 3-0. Earlier in the week they had drawn 1-1 at Rochdale.

On 1 June the club announced a mini tour of Scotland, to play Falkirk on 31 July as well as manager Owen Coyle's first club, St Johnstone on 2 August. The team returned unbeaten, drawing 0-0 at Falkirk before beating St. Johnstone 2-0. The club also announced a home fixture against Spanish side Osasuna on 6 August, which they won 2-0.
