The Sacramento Mountain Lions season was the fourth and final season for the United Football League franchise.
In July, the Sacramento Mountain Lions were known to be considering a move to Raley Field, a baseball park in West Sacramento, California. The Mountain Lions, 2011's attendance leader, played their previous two seasons at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento.[1] At a press conference at Raley Field on August 6, the move to West Sacramento was confirmed. Two games were played there before the league folded.[2]
Dennis Green, who had coached the Mountain Lions since 2009, when they were the California Redwoods, did not return as head coach in 2012.[3] On August 6, Turk Schonert was announced as the new head coach.
