The 2011–12 season was Sport Lisboa e Benfica's 108th season in existence and the club's 78th consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. It involved Benfica competing in the Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal, Taça da Liga and the UEFA Champions League. Benfica qualified for the Champions League by finishing 2nd in the previous Primeira Liga.

In Jesus' third season at the helm of the club, he tried to implement a more balanced system, with Axel Witsel replacing Aimar as a more central midfielder, with Aimar pushed as to second striker role, to give more defensive support than Saviola. Gaitán, now with one year of Europe, was moved to the right, and Bruno César and Nolito alternated on the left. Rodrigo eventually gained his space in starting eleven, and replaced Aimar.[2][3][4]

Although a more successful season than the previous, including winning his UEFA Champions League group, reaching quarter-finals, and leading the Primeira Liga with a 5 point advantage, Benfica only won their fourth League Cup trophy, against Gil Vicente.[5][6][7]
