2010–11 LFL season

The 2010–11 LFL Season was the second season of the Lingerie Football League. The league featured 10 teams in various cities across the United States. For the 2010–11 season, the league launched two expansion franchises in the Orlando Fantasy and Baltimore Charm, while the Denver Dream and New York Majesty suspended operations because of issues with home venues.

After the 2009–10 season, in which all games were broadcast exclusively on the internet, the league returned to traditional television for 2010. All games, except for the Lingerie Bowl, were broadcast in edited form on MTV2.[1] The Lingerie Bowl aired on pay-per-view alongside the Super Bowl.

The 2010 LFL All-Fantasy Game was held June 10, 2010, in Monterrey, Mexico, with the Eastern Conference prevailing over the Western Conference 36–14. The All-Fantasy Game's co-MVPs were the Philadelphia Passion's Tyrah Lusby and the Miami Caliente's Anonka Dixon.

The season kicked off on August 27, 2010, and culminated with Lingerie Bowl VIII on February 6, 2011. The LFL Eastern and Western Conference playoff games were played back-to-back on January 29, 2011, at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.[2] The 2011 Lingerie Bowl, played during halftime of Super Bowl XLV, was held at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas between the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia Passion and the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Temptation.[3] Los Angeles Temptation won back-to-back titles by defeating the Philadelphia Passion 26–25.[4]
