The 2011–12 LEB Oro season is the 16th season of the Liga Española de Baloncesto. It's named too Adecco Oro by sponsorship reasons.

Competition format
Eligibility of players
All teams must have in their roster:- A minimum of six players who played in Spain during three season being between 15 and 20 years old.
- A maximum of two non-EU players. This players can be replaced by players from the EU or ACP countries.
- A maximum of three players from the EU or ACP countries.
Regular season
Each team of every division has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's stadium. This means that in Liga LEB the league ends after every team plays 34 games. The first round will be played on September 23, 2011 and the last one on April 27, 2012.Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.
Since the 18th round, if two or more teams have accumulated the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:
- Head-to-head winning games.
- Head-to-head points coefficient.
- Total points coefficient.
At the final of the season:
- The regular season winner promotes directly to Liga ACB.
- Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs to ACB.
- Teams qualified in 16th and 17th will play a relegation play-out to LEB Plata.
- Team qualified in 18th position is relegated directly to LEB Plata.
