Bolton Wanderers failed to win the 2009–10 Premier League title, making it the 71st time that they have competed at the top level without winning the title, the most of any club. The team kit for the 2009–10 season was produced by Reebok who were replaced as shirt sponsor by 188BET after nineteen years. Reebok still held naming rights to the stadium.

The away kit was the same as the home but blue, whilst the 188bet logo was white. Pre-season Bolton confirmed that they would not be taking up the option of signing Ebi Smolarek, Sébastien Puygrenier or Ariza Makukula after the end of the previous season, and all returned to their parent clubs.Man City 1–0 Bolton BBC Sport, 24 May 2009, Retrieved on 29 May 2009 Bolton announced on 6 May 2009 that long serving goalkeeper Jussi Jääskeläinen had been granted a testimonial against Hibernian at the Reebok Stadium on 8 August.Jussi Granted Testimonial https://web.archive.org/web/20090510004249/http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0%2C%2C1004~1649709%2C00.html 10 May 2009 www.bwfc.com, 6 May 2009, Retrieved on 29 May 2009 This was later followed by an announcement that the club would play Hibs' neighbours Hearts at Tynecastle four days earlier.Wanderers Confirm Hearts Friendly https://web.archive.org/web/20090731143904/http://www.bwfc.co.uk/page/General/0%2C%2C1004~1678208%2C00.html 31 July 2009 www.bwfc.com, 1 June 2009, Retrieved on 2 June 2009 On 12 June, the club published its full set of pre-season fixtures which included a three-game tour of Germany and the Netherlands, where the team met Borussia Mönchengladbach, Den Bosch and FC Eindhoven.
