The club competed in the Premier League, the highest level of English football, for a second consecutive season. Although this season was the club's 62nd at the top level of English football, it was the first time they had faced consecutive campaigns in the highest division since 1981–82. The previous season had seen them survive their return to the highest level with a 15th-place finish, eight points above the relegation zone. The club survived for a second successive season after finishing 17th, one place above the relegation zone. Despite losing their final fixture, results elsewhere on the final day kept Wolves one point ahead of the bottom three teams. Season review Preparing for their second consecutive season in the Premier League, the club made five new additions.

With just three minutes remaining at Molineux, a goal by Stephen Hunt reduced the deficit to 2–3, meaning Wolves were safe by virtue of goals scored (having tied Birmingham on points and goal difference). An injury time goal by Tottenham then ended all doubt and sent Birmingham down, along with Blackpool who had eventually lost at champions Manchester United despite having at one point led. Wolves had survived in 17th place, on 40 points, a two-point improvement on the previous campaign despite a much more nervous finale. Results Preseason Wolves' seven pre season games saw them face opposition from five different leagues. As had become common in recent years, only their final game was held at their Molineux home. A second "Wolves Development XI" team largely comprising academy prospects also played a series of matches during this period. 17 July 2010 15:00 BST Bohemians 0–3 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Craddock 6Fletcher 61Mujangi Bia 90+2 Dalymount Park Dublin Richie Winter W 20 July 2010 19:45 BST Walsall 0–4 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Hemmings 11Vokes 37 43Ebanks-Blake 66 Banks's Stadium Walsall 4,963 Rob Lewis W 24 July 2010 19:00 BST RSC Charleroi 1–2 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Tormena 59 Doyle 52Edwards 83 Stade du Pays de Charleroi Charleroi Laurent Colemonts W 27 July 2010 20:00 BST Reading 2–1 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Sigurðsson 10 pen.Antonio 71 Jones 80 Madejski Stadium Reading 6,628 Iain Williamson L 31 July 2010 15:00 BST Leeds United 3–1 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Gradel 36Sam 49Johnson 85 Jarvis 45+1 Elland Road Leeds 12,979 Nigel Miller L 3 August 2010 19:00 BST Heart of Midlothian 0–2 Report Wolverhampton Wanderers Halford 4Ward 18 Tynecastle Edinburgh 5,660 Dougie McDonald W 7 August 2010 15:00 BST Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–1 Report Athletic Bilbao Fletcher 15Ebanks-Blake 65 López 36 Molineux Wolverhampton 17,502 Lee Mason W "Wolves Development XI" pre season results (all away): 4–1 v Lisburn Distillery (15 July), 1–0 v Glenavon (17 July), 0–2 v Newport County (23 July), 1–0 v Cheltenham Town (30 July), 7–1 v Chasetown (2 August), 4–2 v Telford United (10 August) Premier League 2010–11 Premier League A total of 20 teams competed in the Premier League in the 2010–11 season.
