Over the summer, Dukla signed Radim Nečas from Mladá Boleslav and brought back Ondřej Vrzal on a year-long loan from Viktoria Plzeň.
In the winter transfer window, sixteen-year-old striker Patrik Svoboda joined from Kladno with six players going the other way on loan. Also joining Dukla at this time were two forwards: AC Sparta Prague's Martin Jirouš, who signed on a loan deal until 31 January 2012, and Jan Pázler from Slavia Prague. Goalkeeper Tomáš Kučera also arrived to provide backup for Rada. Martin Bayer left to join third league side Ovčáry and Robert Kokoška departed for Bohemians 1905.

Striker Tomáš Kulvajt was released. Martin Macháček went out on loan to Sezimovo Ústí for the first half of the season.
In the winter, Dukla sent six players out on loan to SK Kladno as part of the deal for Patrik Svoboda. These players were Jakub Sklenář, Jakub Jakubov, Martin Macháček, Donát Laczkovich, David Radosta and Jaroslav Kmoch. Striker Pavel Vrána went out on loan to Karviná.

Cup
Dukla reached the third round of the cup competition. This was the same progress as the club made in the previous season.
As a 2. Liga team, Dukla entered the Cup in the first round. After easing past amateur side Česká Lípa in their first match, Dukla travelled to fellow 2. Liga side Sezimovo Ústí. Despite conceding the first goal, Dukla ran out 3–2 winners.
In the third round Dukla faced Gambrinus liga outfit Jablonec. Despite opening the scoring through Dani Chigou, Jablonec managed to equalise and the match went to a penalty shoot-out. Even after the regular five attempts each, both teams missed the sixth penalty. Goalkeeper Filip Rada took the seventh and missed, but Jablonec striker Tomáš Pekhart made no mistake from the spot to put Jablonec in the next round and send Dukla out of the competition.
