The 2010–11 season saw FC Timişoara participate in Liga I, the Romanian Cup, and the UEFA Europa League.

In November 2010, a Romanian Court of Appeal returned the name, the colors and the record of AEK Politehnica Timişoara to FC Timişoara.[1] Due to rules that forbid changes of team names during a season, the team used the name FC Timişoara until the end of 2010-11 season.
