The 2012 season for Euskaltel–Euskadi is scheduled to begin in January at the Tour Down Under. As a UCI ProTeam, they are automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour.

The team experiences a managerial change, as Igor González de Galdeano left the post at the end of the 2011 season,^[1] and was replaced by the man he replaced, Miguel Madariaga.^[2] Madariaga has stated that he was taking the position only for 2012 and will leave before 2013, perhaps not coincidentally when the Basque government will remove or at least greatly reduce their financial commitment to the team.^[3]
