← Premier League 2010/11 |
The 2011/12 Maltese Premier League marked the 97th season in the history of the Maltese top football league . The league began on August 19, 2011 and ended with the last games of the 32nd round on May 12, 2012.
After a preliminary round, consisting of a first and a second round, the league was divided into two groups of six: the best six teams played in the championship round for the title and the international starting positions, the six worst teams against relegation. Half of the points achieved in the preliminary round were credited (half points were rounded up).
The FC Valletta was able to fix the 21st title win in the club's history two rounds before the end with the successful title defense.

Clubs of the Maltese Premier League 2011/12 |
Compared to the 2010/11 season , the composition of the league changed as follows: The Vittoriosa Stars rose after only one year as the last-placed team in the playout group back in the First Division (second highest division) and were replaced by the Balzan Youths , which as First Division champions were top notch again after seven years. Furthermore, due to a league increase from ten to twelve clubs, FC Mqabba and FC Mosta returned to the Premier League after three and five years respectively.
Only a few stadiums in Malta had the necessary infrastructure to be able to hold regular Premier League matches. These were the Ta 'Qali Stadium , the Victor Tedesco Stadium and the Hibernians Football Ground . Each team had its own training ground, but usually no matches were played on it. The games therefore usually took place on neutral ground, which essentially makes the distinction between home and away games obsolete.
