Teams

Politehnica Iași, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and Unirea Alba Iulia were relegated to Liga II after finishing the 2009–10 season in the bottom three places. Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and Unirea Alba Iulia made their immediate return to the second level, while Politehnica Iași ended a six-year tenure in the highest football league of Romania. 15th-placed team Pandurii Târgu Jiu, who originally were to be relegated as well, were allowed to remain in Liga I after Internațional Curtea de Argeș withdrew from the league because of financial reasons.[2] Internațional thus returned to Liga II after having been promoted the previous season.

The four relegated teams were replaced by the champions and runners-up from both 2009–10 Liga II divisions. Victoria Brănești and Sportul Studențesc were promoted from Seria I while Târgu Mureș and Universitatea Cluj were promoted from Seria II, with Victoria Brănești and Universitatea Cluj being constrained to play their home games on grounds in other cities (than home based) as their did not meet Liga I requirements.

Venues

  1. Pandurii Târgu Jiu was relocated to Municipal Stadium from Drobeta-Turnu Severin from the 11th round because Tudor Vladimirescu Stadium from Târgu Jiu was under renovation.
  2. Victoria Brănești was relocated to Municipal Stadium from Buzău until the 23rd round and then to Concordia Stadium from Chiajna because Cătălin Hîldan Stadium from Brănești does not meet the standards for Liga I.
  3. Capacity of Giulești-Valentin Stănescu Stadium has been reduced from 19,100 to 11,704 due to advanced degradation of the resistance structure of the South End.
  4. Universitatea Cluj was relocated to Cetate Stadium from Alba Iulia until the 19th round because Cluj Arena was under construction and then was relocated to Gaz Metan Stadium from Mediaș.
  5. Gaz Metan Mediaș was relocated to Municipal Stadium from Sibiu until the 10th round because Gaz Metan Stadium from Mediaș was under renovation.
  6. Capacity of Cetate Stadium has been reduced from 18,000 to 8,000 due to security reasons.
