The season started on 2 April 2011 and will end on 29 October 2011.^[1]

Changes from 2010

• Norway overtook Iceland in the UEFA coefficient rankings for eighth spot in the 2012–13 European season.^[2] Thus Norway gains a second entry for the Champions League which is naturally given to the season's runner-up.
