Qualification took place from 5 to 13 October 2012. It involved the five lower ranked teams in Southeast Asia. All teams played in a round-robin tournament format with the top two teams qualifying for the tournament proper. Six teams have qualified directly to the finals.

The draw for the tournament as well as the qualification tournament took place on the afternoon of 11 July 2012 at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Bangkok. The teams that qualified via the qualifying stages were not yet determined at the time of the draw.{{cite web |url=http://www.aseanfootball.org/?p=8835 |title=AFF Suzuki Cup: Draw results |work=AseanFootball.org |publisher=ASEAN Football Federation |date=11 July 2012 |access-date=11 July 2012 }} The eight finalists were divided into four pots of two teams each based on team rankings.{{cite web |url=http://www.aseanfootball.org/?p=8812 |title=AFF Suzuki Cup: Millions of fans will follow draw ceremony |work=AseanFootballorg |publisher=ASEAN Football Federation |date=10 July 2012 |access-date=11 July 2012 }}

{{main|2012 AFF Championship squads}}

Ranking in each group shall be determine as follows:{{Cite web |url=http://www.affsuzukicup.com/rules.html |title=Tournament Rules |work=AFFSuzukiCup.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121122011737/http://www.affsuzukicup.com/rules.html |archive-date=22 November 2012 |url-status = dead|df=dmy-all }}

1. Greater number of points obtained in all the group matches;
2. Goal difference in all the group matches;
3. Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches.

If two or more teams are equal on the basis on the above three criteria, the place shall be determined as follows:

1. Result of the direct match between the teams concerned;
2. Drawing lots by the Organising Committee.

However, these criteria would not apply if two teams tied on points, goals scored, and conceded played against each other in their final group match, are still level at the end of that match, and no other team in group finishes with same points; in that case, the tie would be broken by a penalty shootout.

• All matches were played in Thailand.
• Times listed are UTC+7.
