The 2011–12 Indonesia Super League was the fourth season of the Indonesia Super League (ISL), a fully professional football competition as the top tier of the football league pyramid in Indonesia. The season began on 1 December 2011. Persipura Jayapura were the defending champions, having won their 3rd league title the previous season.
This season was also the first season of ISL organized without authorization from PSSI due to internal conflict. PSSI under chairman Johar Arifin officially decided to replace ISL as a top level with the Indonesian Premier League. It was then recognized by other faction of PSSI under chairman La Nyalla Matalatti.
After the signing of the MoU between Djohar Arifin Husein (PSSI) and La Nyalla Matalitti (KPSI-PSSI) that was initiated by FIFA and the AFC through the AFC force task, Indonesia Super League was under the control of the joint committee to remain manageable by PT Liga Indonesia until the establishment of a new professional competition by the committee.[2]
Persibo Bojonegoro, Persema Malang, Bontang and PSM Makassar were joined to 2011–12 Indonesian Premier League. They were replaced by the best three teams from the 2010–11 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, Persiba Bantul, Mitra Kukar and Persiraja Banda Aceh.
Fourth-placed Premier Division sides Persidafon Dafonsoro were promoted to Indonesia Super League after winning the relegation/promotion play-off against 15th placed 2010–11 Indonesia Super League sides Bontang by score 3–2.
2010–11 Liga Indonesia Premier Division best-eight teams sides PSAP Sigli, Persiram Raja Ampat, Gresik United and PSMS Medan replaced Persijap Jepara, Semen Padang, Persiba Bantul and Persiraja Banda Aceh after those four teams joined to 2011–12 Indonesian Premier League.
