The 2012–13 B Group was the 58th season of the Bulgarian B Football Group, the second tier of the Bulgarian football league system. The season started on 19 August 2012 and finished in May 2013.
On 15 June the Executive Committee of Bulgarian Football Union decided to reduce further the number of teams due licensing problems in most of the clubs and reuniting the teams into one league. The new format will consist 14 teams, playing twice against all the other, once home and once away. The original intention was to have a group of 16 teams, but two teams decided to cancel their participation before the start of the season.
In contrast to the last season, there will be no promotion play-off this year. The idea behind is the decision, made by the BFU to reduce the number of teams at A PFG. This season there will be just two teams, promoting to A PFG, and 4 teams relegating from to the top league.
The champions of the two groups of B PFG were promoted to the A PFG. These were Pirin (Gotse Delchev) (West B PFG champions) and Etar (Veliko Tarnovo) (East B PFG champions) . The third promoted team is Botev (Plovdiv), which won the promotion play-off against Sportist (Svoge).
Vidima-Rakovski, Kaliakra and Svetkavitsa were relegated after finishing in the bottom three places of the table at the end of season 2011/12.
