The 1911β 12 season was the 24th season of The Football League.
Blackburn Rovers won the First Division title for the first time.
Bury and Preston North End were relegated to the Second Division, and their places in the First Division were taken by Derby County and Chelsea.
Beginning in the 1894β95 season, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded). In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976β77 season.
During the first six seasons of the league, (up to the 1893β94 season), re-election process concerned the clubs which finished in the bottom four of the league. From the 1894β95 season and until the 1920β21 season the re-election process was required of the clubs which finished in the bottom three of the league.
