Notes:
- ^ Atlético Balboa were relegated due to failure to pay members of their organization and other problems which caused them to not play in their final two league matches of the season.[1] Once Municipal have claimed that this should spare them from relegation. On 13 June 2011, the league voted for Once Municipal to remain in the competition for next season.[2]
List of foreign players in the league
editThis is a list of foreign players in Clausura 2011. The following players:
- have played at least one apertura game for the respective club.

A new rule was introduced this season that clubs can only have three foreign players per club and can only add a new player if there is an injury or player/s is released.
