2011 A Lyga

The league will see a change in the number of teams once again as twelve teams were granted a licence for 2011,{{cite web|title=2011 metų LFF A lygoje žais 12 komandų, paskelbtas tvarkaraštis|url=http://www.lff.lt/lt/article/2011_metu_lff_a_lygoje_zais_12_komandu|publisher=Lithuanian Football Federation|access-date=9 March 2011|language=lt|archive-date=8 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208060531/http://www.lff.lt/lt/article/2011_metu_lff_a_lygoje_zais_12_komandu|url-status=dead}} one more than in the 2010 season.

FK Vėtra were expelled over financial troubles after 16 matches of the 2010 season;{{cite web|title="Vėtrai" gresia pašalinimas į žemesnę lygą|url=http://www.lff.lt/lt/article/vetrai_gresia_pasalinimas_i_zemesne_lyga|publisher=Lithuanian Football Federation|access-date=9 March 2011|language=lt}} their records were annulled and the team was subsequently disbanded.{{citation needed|date=March 2011}} From the remaining ten clubs, Atletas Kaunas, who finished in last place at the end of the season, were the only team not to apply for a 2011 top-level licence. Atletas therefore played at the second level in 2011.

Three new teams were admitted to the league, unbeaten{{cite web|title=Lithuania - 1 Lyga 2010|url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/lithuania/1-lyga/2010/regular-season/|publisher=Soccerway|access-date=10 March 2011}} 2010 I Lyga champions FBK Kaunas, seventh-placed team Atlantas Klaipėda and Dainava Alytus, a merger between I Lyga runners-up Alytis Alytus and third-placed city rivals Vidzgiris.{{cite web|title=FK Dainava Alytus|url=http://www.weltfussballarchiv.com/Vereinsprofilnew.php?ID=2503|publisher=Weltfussballarchiv|access-date=11 March 2011|archive-date=5 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405182628/http://www.weltfussballarchiv.com/Vereinsprofilnew.php?ID=2503|url-status=dead}} FBK Kaunas and Atlantas made their return after two seasons in the lower divisions of the Lithuanian league system, while Dainava had their debut in the A Lyga, as neither of its predecessor clubs played at the Lithuanian top level in its history.
