The 2010 Belarusian First League is the 20th season of 2nd level football in Belarus. It started on April 17 and ended on November 13, 2010.

Team changes from 2009 season

The winners of last season (Belshina Bobruisk) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. Due to reduction of Premier League, the promoted team was replaced by three teams that finished at the bottom of 2009 Belarusian Premier League table (Gomel, Granit Mikashevichi and Smorgon). The First League was expanded from 14 to 16 teams.

One team that finished at the bottom of 2009 season table (Spartak Shklov) relegated to the Second League. They were replaced by one best team of 2009 Second League (Rudensk).
