The 2012 Bhutanese A-Division was the 26th season of football in Bhutan. It began on 31 August 2012 and ended on 6 October 2012. As the only stadium used in the league was the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, matches were played one per day, with a mid-season break from the 16th to the 20th of September. As there was only one stadium used, the 6 teams were designated so that each team played 5 "home" games and 5 "away" games. This season marked the end of the Thimpu-based league being the top league in the country. The A-Division will now act as a qualifying tournament for the Bhutan National League, a nationwide tournament that will now provide the qualifier for the 2013 AFC President's Cup.[1]
Overview
The A-Division was won by Druk Pol for the 8th time in their history, their first title since 2003.[2] Druk Pol, together with Zimdra and Yeedzin, qualify for the 2012–13 Bhutan National League, which include these three teams from Thimpu together with four other teams representing the districts of Punakha, Geylegphug, Samtse and Chukha.[3]

1 ^ The home team is listed in the left-hand column.
Colours: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Note 1: The notion of home and away fixtures in the A-Division is moot as all games are played at Changlimithang Stadium. As such, for the purpose of this table, the first result chronologically has been deemed that team's "home" game and the second the "away" game.
