2012 Faroe Islands Premier League

2012 Faroe Islands Premier League was the seventieth season of top-tier football on the Faroe Islands. For sponsorship reasons, it was known as Effodeildin. The season began on 24 March 2012 with a match between B36 Tórshavn and FC Suðuroy, and ended on 6 October 2012. EB/Streymur won their second league title. B36 Tórshavn were the defending champions.

Teams 07 Vestur and B71 Sandoy had finished 9th and 10th respectively at the end of the previous season and were relegated to the 1. deild as a result. 07 Vestur were relegated after just one season in the league while B71 Sandoy left after a two-year stay.
