Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito's 2010 season was the club's 80th year of existence, ^[1] the 57th year in professional football, and the 49th in the top level of professional football in Ecuador. Former manager Edgardo Bauza returns to the position after Jorge Fossati left to sign with Internacional. While Liga unsuccessfully defended its 2009 title in the Copa Sudamericana and lost the Suruga Bank Championship, they became the third team to win back-to-back Recopa Sudamericanas and won their tenth Serie A title.

Squad information

Current squad

Liga's squad for the season is allowed a maximum of four foreign players at any one time, and a maximum of eight throughout the season. The team must also register under-19 players to be used in every match of the league season. The jersey numbers in the main table (directly below) refer to the number on their domestic league jersey. For each CONMEBOL competition, Liga must register 25 players, whose jerseys will be numbered 1-25. Because of this, some players may have different jersey numbers while playing in CONMEBOL matches.
