The 2011–12 Superleague Greece was the 53rd season of the highest football league of Greece and the sixth under the name Superleague. The season began in late August or early September 2011 and ended in May 2012 with the last matches of the European playoff round.[citation needed] Olympiacos are the defending champions, having won their 38th Greek championship in the 2010–11 season.
The league will comprise thirteen teams from the 2010–11 season and three promoted teams from the 2010–11 Football League.
Teams
Larissa, Panserraikos, Iraklis, Olympiakos Volou and Kavala were relegated at the end of the 2010–11 season. Larissa and Panserraikos were relegated on virtue of their league position at the end of the season; Larissa had to return to the Football League, formerly known as Beta Ethniki, after six seasons, while Panserraikos were relegated after just one season. Olympiakos Volou and Kavala were initially relegated to the Delta Ethniki due to the on-going match-fixing scandal,[1] but after an appeal, both teams demanded to have their cases rechecked.[2] However, the Professional Sports Committee refused, and the original penalty stood.[3] On 22 October 2011, almost two months after the league had started, they were replaced by Doxa Drama and Levadiakos.[4]
Iraklis were denied a licence for the 2011–12 season over unpaid debts[5] and put into last place of the league table.[6] The club was thus demoted to the 2011–12 Football League, concluding a twenty-nine year run in the highest football league of Greece. The demotion of Iraklis eventually spared Asteras Tripolis from relegation.[6]
The three relegated teams have been replaced by 2010–11 Football League champions Panetolikos, runners-up PAS Giannina and OFI via a play-off round. Panetolikos returned to the Greek top football level after 34 seasons, while PAS Giannina made their immediate comeback to the Superleague.
The promotion play-off round, originally scheduled to take place in late May 2011, was postponed to late July 2011 after qualified teams OFI and Trikala were denied a licence for the 2011–12 season.[7] The decision against OFI has since been reverted after the club successfully took the case to a civil court,[8] enabling the side to compete in the play-offs along Levadiakos, Doxa Drama and Diagoras. OFI were eventually promoted as play-off winners after they were granted a walkover in their second-to-last match as their opponents Doxa Drama were not able to field a full side.[8] The Heraklion club thus returned to the Superleague after two seasons.

Playoffs
In the play-off for Champions League, the four qualified teams play each other in a home and away round robin. However, they do not all start with 0 points. Instead, a weighting system applies to the teams' standing at the start of the play-off mini-league. The team finishing fifth in the Super League will start the play-off with 0 points. The fifth placed team's end of season tally of points is subtracted from the sum of the points that other teams have. This number is then divided by five and rounded to the nearest whole number of points, if necessary, to give the other teams the points with which they start the mini-league.
Before the last round of matches, fifth-placed club AEK Athens earned 48 points during the regular season. Based on this number and the calculations above, Panathinaikos as runners-up will begin the playoff with four points ((66–48)/5 = 3.6, rounded up to 4), while PAOK and Atromitos will start with zero point each ((50–48)/5 = 0.4, rounded down to 0).

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) classification of regular season.
1. Atromitos lost the final of the 2011–12 Greek Cup against Champions League-qualified team Olympiacos. As a consequence, the three Europa League spots were distributed by the final standings of this group.
2. AEK Athens was not licensed to play in the Europa League 2012-2013 and therefore will be replaced by the 6th placed team in the league table, which is Asteras Tripolis (which will play in the second qualifying round). This means that PAOK FC will play in the third qualfying round of the Europa League and Atromitos FC will play in the Europa League play-offs.
