This season featured the same number of teams as the previous season, but included an expanded group stage of 35 matches. Each team played eight group-stage matches with the four best performing teams from the group stage advancing to the semi-final stage.
The rules for the tournament deviated from those in the laws of cricket where any no-ball will be followed by a free hit.{{cite web |url=http://www.cricket.com.au/pv_obj_cache/pv_obj_id_E302A48AA58592DC929C59D92B7E7544A8D41900/filename/10%20KFC%20T20%20BBL.ashx |title=KFC T20 Big Bash League Playing Conditions |publisher=Cricket Australia |date=2012-09-27|access-date=2013-02-13 }}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
