They were replaced by Chongqing Lifan and Changsha Ginde (Now named Shenzhen Phoenix), who were relegated from the 2010 Chinese Super League after finishing the season in the bottom two places of the table.

Nanjing Yoyo were relegated to the 2011 China League Two after finishing the 2010 season in last place. Due to a league expansion, two teams were admitted into the 2011 League One. These were the two 2010 League Two promotion final winners, Dalian Aerbin and Tianjin Songjiang.
