2011–12 Newcastle United F.C. season

The 2011–12 season will be the 119th season in the history of Newcastle United. The club is competing in the Premier League for the second consecutive season, after relegation to the Championship in 2008–09 and subsequent promotion the following season. The club went for 11 games unbeaten, until a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City, who in turn extended their unbeaten run to 12 games. This unbeaten run has since been followed by a run of 5 winless games, since their defence suffered a number of injuries. This article will show statistics and list details of all matches played by the club during the season.

Team kit

Puma will be supplying the team kits for a final season, unless they extend their current contract. Puma will be designing three new kits for Newcastle United. The initial kit sponsor was Northern Rock, who entered their 9th year of sponsoring the team. During 2011 a clause was triggered to end Northern Rock's deal early at the end of this season. On 1 January 2012 Virgin Money bought Northern Rock and on 4 January Virgin replaced Northern Rock as sponsor, as well as signing a new 2 year deal to sponsor the shirt.
