The 2012–13 season was Brechin City's seventh consecutive season in the Scottish Second Division, having been relegated from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 2005–06 season. Brechin also competed in the Challenge Cup, League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

Brechin finished third in the Scottish Second Division, entering the play-offs losing 4–3 to Alloa Athletic on aggregate in the Semi-final and remained in the Scottish Second Division. They reached the first round of the Challenge Cup, the first round of the League Cup and the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

They began the season under the management of Jim Weir. On 29 September 2012, Weir was sacked by the club following poor results.Andy Millen and Kevin McGowne took over in caretaker capacities on 30 September 2012 following Weir's departure. The pair were in charge for the match against Arbroath the following week. On 9 October 2012, Ray McKinnon was appointed as the new manager, taking over with Brechin third from bottom.

Due to drainage problems at Glebe Park causing a string of postponements and with available dates to play the postponed fixtures running outBrechin took the decision to play two home ties at Station Park. This was done in an effort to avoid further postponements.
