The 2011 FriendsLife T20 was the ninth edition of what would later become the T20 Blast, England's premier domestic Twenty20 competition. The tournament ran from 1 June to 27 August 2011. The teams in the tournament remained the same as the previous season.
The ECB opted to retain the enlarged schedule from the previous season, despite criticism that the tournament had become bloated. In a vote, counties, perhaps conscious of financial difficulties incurred during the 2010 season, opted against any kind of reduction.
The final saw Leicestershire Foxes beat Somerset for their third title. Both finalists qualified for the 2011 Champions League Twenty20 qualifying stage.
