The 2010–11 Elitserien season was Frölunda HC's 31st season in Elitserien. The regular season started on September 17, 2010 away against Timrå IK and ended on March 5, 2011 away against Luleå HF.^[1]

The 2010–11 season was Frölunda's worst season in four years. For the first time since 2007, Frölunda finished 9th in the regular season and thus missed the following playoffs. With just a few rounds of the regular season left, Frölunda were expected by many hockey experts to finish 11th or 12th in the regular season and thus be forced to play in Kvalserien. However, Frölunda managed to win the last three games and thus managed to stay in Elitserien without having to play in Kvalserien.

Pre-season

On April 13 it was reported that Ulf Dahlén, who had one year left on his contract, was relieved of his duties as head coach.^[2] The decision was officially announced the following day.^[3] Dahlén was offered to continue working as part of the coaching staff as an assistant coach, but declined the offer.^[2] Kent Johansson was announced as new head coach on April 21.^[4] In May Stephan Lundh, who joined the coaching staff in late January 2010 to aid Dahlén,^[5] signed a one-year contract to work as an assistant coach to Johansson.^[6]
