List of CMLL Super Viernes shows in 2012

CMLL Super Viernes is professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL) Friday night wrestling show that takes place in Arena México every week unless a Pay-Per-View or a major wrestling event is scheduled to take place on that night instead. CMLL began holding their weekly Friday night "Super Viernes" shows as far back as 1938, with 2012 being no exception. Some of the matches from Super Viernes are taped for CMLL's weekly shows that air in Mexico the week following the Super Viernes show. The Super Viernes show was replaced by four major CMLL events in 20102, Homenaje a Dos Leyendas, Infierno en en Ring, the CMLL 79th Anniversary Show and Sin Piedad. The July 27, 2012 Super Viernes was one of only few Friday night shows to ever be cancelled, on this occasion due to a demonstration in the streets of Mexico City near Arena México.

The 2012 Super Viernes shows has hosted 7 championship matches in total, with 5 championship changes occurring.

Both the CMLL World Trios Championship (April 27) and the CMLL World Middleweight Championship (July 20) were successfully defended by the champions.
