The 2011–12 season was Brisbane Roar Football Club (W-League)'s fourth season, in the W-League. Brisbane Roar finished 2nd in their W-League season, fishing as runners-up in the Grand Final. They looked to successfully defend their silverware, having won the Grand Final the season before.

On 2 August 2011, the club confirmed they would be supplied with kits and training gear by German multinational apparel company Puma, to which the women's team will wear also.^[1] It is the first time in the history of the club and W-League that they will not be wearing a kit that is made by Hummel. On 4 October 2011, 3 weeks out from the start of the 2011–12 A-League season, The World Game reported that the Bakrie Group had struck a 10-year deal to take 70% ownership of the club, with the other 30% being occupied by the FFA.^[2]
