New Rules
  • The 5+1 format of foreign players has been reduced to 4+1.
  • If any team is found winning with the help of the referee (i.e. the team made some deals with the referee before the game), the team will lose 6 to 9 points.
  • If there are any riots during a game, then the team concerned will lose 3 points.
  • Since there were too many coaches sacked in the last edition of the Uzbek League, now no club can fire their coach, except with the permission of the U.F.F.

Teams

Lokomotiv Tashkent and Xorazm FK Urganch were relegated in the last edition of the Uzbek League.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
Notes:
  1. Since Pakhtakor also won the 2011 Uzbekistan Cup, the fourth-placed team of the league also qualified for the 2012 AFC Champions League.
  2. Qizilqum Zarafshon survived relegation due to FK Guliston not fulfilling all licensing requirements after finishing second in the Lower Division
