A total of twelve teams contested the league. Aberdeen FC Ladies won the 2011 Scottish Women's First Division and returned to the Premier League after one season away. First Division runners-up Hibernian 2000 were unable to be promoted, as league rules stipulated each club could field only one team in the Premier League.[1] Because the third-placed side in the First Division, Toryglen Ladies, folded over the close season, FC Kilmarnock Ladies were spared relegation and competed in 2012.[2]
The SWPL ran in a new format from this season, with a split division. The 12 clubs faced each other once (11 games per club), after which the league split into top-six and bottom-six sections, based on league position. Each club then played home and away against clubs in their respective sections to give a total of 21 games.
