The 2012–13 A-League was the 36th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the eighth season of the Australian A-League since its establishment in 2004. The 2012–13 season saw the introduction of a new Western Sydney-based team, the return of Newcastle Jets FC after their A-League licence was returned by FFA, and the end of Gold Coast United after they were removed from the competition at the end of the previous season.{{cite news|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/Jets-to-continue-under-FFAHSG-agreement/47144|title=Jets to continue under FFA/HSG agreement|date=1 May 2012|publisher=Football Federation Australia|access-date=5 May 2012}}{{cite news|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/FFA-statement-on-Gold-Coast-United/46715|title=FFA statement on Gold Coast United|date=5 April 2012|publisher=Football Federation Australia|access-date=6 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120426172340/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/FFA-statement-on-Gold-Coast-United/46715|archive-date=26 April 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/New-Hyundai-ALeague-club-for-Western-Sydney/46702|title=New Hyundai A-League club for Western Sydney|date=11 April 2012|publisher=Football Federation Australia|access-date=16 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120720011124/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/New-Hyundai-ALeague-club-for-Western-Sydney/46702|archive-date=20 July 2012|url-status=dead}} This season was also the last A-League season to be broadcast exclusively on paid television, after SBS obtained the rights to a live Friday night game each week of the A-League season, and all A-League finals games on a one-hour delay, on a $160 million four-year broadcast deal, effective from the 2013–14 A-League season onwards.{{cite web|title=Football returns to free-to-air TV on SBS|url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1129433/football-returns-to-free-to-air-tv-on-sbs|publisher=theworldgame.sbs.com.au|access-date=16 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130306075631/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/news/1129433/Football-returns-to-free-to-air-TV-on-SBS|archive-date=6 March 2013|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=FFA shores up the game's TV future|url=http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a-league/news/1129455/ffa-shores-up-the-game's-tv-future|publisher=theworldgame.sbs.com.au|access-date=16 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121129080625/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a-league/news/1129455/ffa-shores-up-the-game%27s-tv-future|archive-date=29 November 2012|url-status=dead}}

Finals series

In its eighth season the A-League has adopted a new knock-out format for the finals with six teams competing over a three-week series climaxing in the decider. As a result, the play-offs have been reduced from four to three weeks and the top two teams no longer receive a double chance. Instead they will get the opening week of the final series off and will only need to win one game to make the grand final.{{Citation needed| date = May 2025 }}
