Campinense won their eighteenth league title, the first since 2008.
The format was the same used in 2011. The tournament is played in two stages: the first one is a standard round-robin format in which all teams play each other in home and away fixtures. Each win is awarded with 3 points, and each draw grants 1 point to both clubs involved in the match. The 2 worst-placed clubs of this stage will be relegated to 2013 Campeonato Paraibano Second Division. The second stage will be played in a two-legged knockout format, where the 4 best-placed teams from the first stage will compete.
If the champion from both stages ends up being the same team, it will be declared the 2012 Campeonato Paraibano champion. Otherwise, the winners from the two stages will play a new two-legged knockout to decide the champion. In any of the knockout stages, the clubs with the best records in the first stage are higher seeded, advancing in case of a draw.
