The 2012–13 La Liga season (known as the Liga BBVA for sponsorship reasons) was the 82nd since its establishment. The campaign began on 18 August 2012, and concluded on 1 June 2013.{{cite news|title=La Liga comienza el 19 de agosto |trans-title=La Liga starts on 19 August |url=http://www.lfp.es/Noticias/Detallenoticia.aspx?IDNoticia=15215&l=ES |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120904152933/http://www.lfp.es/Noticias/Detallenoticia.aspx?IDNoticia=15215&l=ES |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 September 2012 |publisher=LFP |date=29 May 2012 |access-date=29 May 2012 }} Barcelona won the league for a 22nd time, after leading the league the entire season and amassing 100 points, equalling Real Madrid's points record from the previous season.
As in previous years, Nike provided the official ball for all matches, with a new Nike Maxim Liga BBVA model to be used throughout the season for all matches.{{cite web|title=Nike MAXIM, La Liga and Serie A 2012/13 balls|url=http://pes-parche.com/2012/03/balones-nike-maxim-temporada-2012-2013-official-match-ball-full-hd.html|publisher=pes-parche.com|date=20 April 2012|access-date=20 April 2012|language=es|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402171039/http://pes-parche.com/2012/03/balones-nike-maxim-temporada-2012-2013-official-match-ball-full-hd.html|archive-date=2 April 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite news |title=El balón de la Liga |trans-title=La Liga ball|url=http://www.marca.com/2012/07/03/futbol/1adivision/1341351018.html|work=Marca|location=Spain |date=3 July 2012 |access-date=4 July 2012 |language=es}}
Teams
A total of 20 teams contested the league, including 17 sides from the 2011–12 season and three promoted from the 2011–12 Segunda División. This included the two top teams from the Segunda División, and the victorious team of the play-offs.
Villarreal CF, Sporting de Gijón and Racing de Santander were relegated to 2012–13 Segunda División the previous season: Villarreal were relegated after twelve years in La Liga, Sporting de Gijón returned to Segunda División after a four-year tenure in La Liga, while Racing de Santander ended ten consecutive seasons in La Liga, the longest period in its history.
The three teams that were relegated were replaced by three 2011–12 Segunda División sides: Deportivo de La Coruña made an immediate return to the top level as Segunda División champion. The second-placing team Celta de Vigo was also promoted to La Liga after a five-year absence. The third promoted team was decided in the promotion play-offs where Real Valladolid returned to La Liga after two seasons in Segunda División.

=Fair Play award=
This award was given annually since 1999 to the team with the best fair play during the season. This ranking takes into account aspects such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to determine the best fair play, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
