The 2012 FKF Division One was the inaugural season of FKF Division One and the 49th second division season since it began in 1963. It began on 3 March with Kariobangi Sharks and Congo JMJ United in Zone A and on the same date with Kakamega Homeboyz and Kisumu Municipal in Zone B, and ended on 18 November with Nairobi Stima and MOYAS in Zone A and on the same date with Timsales and Yanga in Zone B.
Compared to the 2010 season of the then Nationwide League, the 2011 season of the FKL and KFF Nationwide League was considered to be a lot better because of major improvements in integrity of referees and playing surfaces. The major complaints of occurrences in 2010 were significantly reduced after the establishment of the NFL Oversight Committee, which closely monitored Football Kenya Limited's running of the league.
Halfway through the season (after 19 matches), Kakamega Homeboyz had been unbeaten with a record of 10-9-0 (10 wins, 9 draws, no losses). They would have become only the second club in Kenya to complete an unbeaten season, after Gor Mahia in the 1976 Kenya National Football League, but were beaten 1−0 against Nakuru AllStars on 22 July 2012, ending their unbeaten record of 23 games. On the other hand, H.B.C. Mlimani hadn't won a single match after 19 games (with a record of 0-3-16: no wins, 3 draws, 16 losses) and were en route to becoming the first club in Kenya and only the fifth in modern football to complete a domestic season without winning a match. However, through a walkover they were awarded over Yanga on 29 September 2012, their winless run of 28 games came to an end.
