The 2011–12 Nigeria Premier League will be the 41st season of the competition since its inception, and the 22nd since the rebranding of the league as the "Professional League".
Sixteen teams from the previous season have been guaranteed to compete in the 2011–12 season. Additionally, four teams have been promoted from the Nigeria National League: Akwa United, Rising Stars, Jigawa Golden Stars and Wikki Tourists.
The season was originally due to start November 26, 2011, less than a month after the conclusion of the previous season due to many long delays by the NFF.[1] The date was pushed back to January 2012 to give time to organize and to sort out the league's sponsorship and scheduled to run to July.[2]
