The 201112 TT Pro League season (known as the Digicel Pro League for sponsorship reasons) is expected to be the tenth season of the TT Pro League since its establishment in 2002. A total of eight teams are expected to contest the league, with Defence Force the defending champions.[1] The season will begin on 9 September 2011 and end in May 2012 with the crowning of the league champion.[2] Dexter Skeene, Pro League CEO announced on 11 February 2011 that by aligning its seasons with those of the major leagues in Europe the Pro League will afford the opportunity to further link culture with sport to harness and develop the talent of people in Trinidad and Tobago.[3]

The first goal of the season was scored by North East Stars' Seon Power against Pro League newcomer, T&TEC, in the eighth minute of the first game on 9 September 2011.[4]

Following a runners-up finish in the 2009 and being crowned champions in the 2010–11 seasons respectively, T&TEC were promoted from the National Super League to the Pro League on 1 March 2011.[5] However, on 15 July 2011, Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene announced that Ma Pau requested to have a one-year sabbatical from the league and would return for the 2012–13 season. On 10 August 2011, Skeene further announced that both Joe Public and South End would not be participating in the 2011–12 season.[6]
