The 2012–13 Azerbaijan Premier League was the twenty first season of the Premier League since its establishment in 1992. The season began on 4 August 2012 and finished on 20 May 2013. Neftchi Baku are the defending champions, having won the previous season.
No club from 2012–13 Azerbaijan First Division was directly promoted.
A total of 12 teams will contest the league, including 12 sides from the 2011–12 season, which means two teams will not be promoted from the 2011–12 Azerbaijan First Division.
On 10 April 2012, FK Qaradağ sealed promotion to league after winning first division. However, due decision of AFFA about licensing, no clubs from division will be promoted which means all clubs from last season will be remaining in the league.
