The 2011–12 season was West Bromwich Albion's second consecutive season in the Premier League, their sixth in total. During the season, they competed in the League Cup and the FA Cup. Albion finished the season in 10th place after their last league game was a 2–3 loss against Arsenal.

The club introduced the "Baggies Brick Road" outside the East Stand of their home ground, The Hawthorns. Supporters were given the opportunity to purchase personalised bricks to add to the walkway. The first bricks were laid by broadcaster Adrian Chiles and comedian Frank Skinner, both of whom are Albion fans.[1]
