The '''2011–12 I-League''' is the fifth season of the [[I-League]], the topmost level of the [[India]]n [[Association football|football]] pyramid. The season began in October 2011 and ended in May 2012. [[Salgaocar S.C.|Salgaocar]] are the defending champions, having won their [[List of Indian football champions|maiden title]] in the [[2010–11 I-League|previous]] season.

The current edition has a total of 14 teams contesting for the honors. These include the top twelve teams from the 2010–11 season along with the two promoted sides, [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Shillong Lajong]] and [[Sporting Clube de Goa]], who had been the winner and the runner-up in the [[2011 I-League 2nd Division]] respectively.

==Teams==
According to the [[All India Football Federation|AIFF]]'s rules, the two bottom-most teams from the [[2010–11 I-League|2010–11 season]]-ending points table were supposed to be relegated to the [[I-League 2nd Division|second tier]], but in actuality, only [[ONGC FC]] were relegated after their second to last place finish, while the team finishing the last, [[JCT FC]] decided to disband their senior football team at the close of the session.

Shillong Lajong FC and Sporting Clube de Goa, the Champions & Runner-up respectively, of the [[2011 I-League 2nd Division]], were promoted to the [[I-League]] after being relegated only the [[2009–10 I-League|previous year]].
