The 2012 United Football League Cup was the fourth edition of the United Football League Cup that ran from September 15 to December 17, 2012. This edition consisted of 28 teams which separated into four groups of five.

Starting this edition, there were 2 stages in the competition. The first stage competed between UFL Division 2 teams and guest teams, while the second stage included UFL Division 1 teams. The top 10 teams of the Cup moved to the knockout stage of the 2013 PFF National Men's Club Championship.[1]

Philippine Air Force were the defending champions.

On December 17, 2012, Stallion defeated Global with a 2–1 scoreline to win their first ever UFL Cup.[2]

This edition saw entry of nine clubs: Mondoñedo Internacionale FC, International FC Philippines, General Trias International FC, Sta. Lucia Mustangs FC, Primero Atletico Cavite FC, Blue Guards FC, Bright Star FC, Mendiola FC 1991 and FC Masbate. These clubs must beat UFL 2nd Division clubs twice to advance to Stage 2. Once a Division Two team beats a guest club the latter will be out of the competition. [1]

Quarter-finals

Semi-finals

The Third-place playoff and Finals matches were originally scheduled on November 19 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, but were postponed on a later date, since some players playing for the clubs are on national duty as members of the Philippine national team competing in the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup. The actual date depended on how the national team fared in the international tournament.[4] As the national team only reached the semi-finals, the matches were scheduled on December 17.
