The 2010–11 season was Associazione Sportiva Roma's 83rd in existence and 78th season in the top flight of Italian football. Claudio Ranieri began his second season as coach, but resigned as manager on 20 February 2011. He was immediately replaced by Vincenzo Montella as a caretaker for the rest of the season.

After a second-place finish in 2009–10, Roma hoped to improve their position to capture their fourth Scudetto, but finished a disappointing sixth.

Roma competed in the Champions League after not qualifying in 2009–10. Roma faced Internazionale in the 2010 Supercoppa Italiana on 21 August, losing 3–1.

Pre-season and friendlies Roma's pre-season began on July 15. 27 players took part in the training camp at Riscone di Brunico.

After three friendlies in camp, the squad took part in the Tournoi de Paris, a tournament featuring Ligue 1 clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux.

Pre-season preparations ended on a low note; Roma travelled to face Super League Greece giants Olympiacos, losing 5–1.

Off the pitch, part of the pre-season was dominated by the news that several companies formed to oversee the sale of the club.
