The '''2012–13 I-League''' was the sixth season of the [[I-League]], the Indian professional league for [[association football]] clubs, since its establishment in 2007. The season began on 6 October 2012 and finished on 12 May 2013 with Churchill Brothers crowned champions in matchday 25.

[[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]] were the defending champions, having won their third I-League title the [[2011–12 I-League|previous season]].

On December 29, 2012, Mohun Bagan were barred from competing in the I-League for 2 years following a decision taken by the I League core committee. This was because they failed to turn up in the second half of the match against [[East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]] because of crowd trouble. All their results in the I-League were declared null and void and all their remaining fixtures were cancelled.<ref>{{cite web|title=Century old Mohun Bagan banned from I-League|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/century-old-mohun-bagan-bannedi-league/200951/on|access-date=29 December 2012}}</ref> <br>	
But on 15 January 2013, Mohun Bagan appealed against the decision to ban them from the league and were reinstated, but would start on 0 points.<ref>{{cite web|title=AIFF revoke two-year ban on Mohun Bagan|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/1064/i-league/2013/01/15/3673299/aiff-revoke-two-year-ban-on-mohun-bagan|access-date=20 January 2013}}</ref>

==Teams==
A total of 14 teams contested the league, including 12 sides from the 2011–12 season and two promoted from the [[2012 I-League 2nd Division]].

[[ONGC F.C.|ONGC]] as champions and [[United Sikkim F.C.|United Sikkim]] as runners-up secured direct promotion from the 2012 I-League 2nd Division. ONGC returned to the I-League after a one-year absence, while United Sikkim made their debut in the I-League.

===Stadium Changes===

====Air India and Mumbai FC====
Due to the ongoing redevelopment of the [[Cooperage Ground]] in [[Mumbai]] which is the regular home for [[Mumbai F.C.]] and [[Air India FC]] in the [[I-League]] both clubs will play at the [[Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex|Balewadi Sports Complex]] in [[Pune]], [[Maharashtra]] until it is complete.<ref>{{cite web|last=Choudhuri|first=Arunava|title=I-League 2012/13: Tentative Fixtures from Round 1 to 13|url=http://arunfoot.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-league-201213-tentative-fixtures-from.html|work=Arunfoot|access-date=5 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130702170944/http://arunfoot.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-league-201213-tentative-fixtures-from.html|archive-date=2013-07-02|url-status=dead}}</ref>

====ONGC====
The newly promoted [[ONGC F.C.]] also usually play at the [[Cooperage Ground]] in [[Mumbai]] but due to the redevelopment the team decided to play at the [[Ambedkar Stadium]] in [[Delhi]] which is where the main company, [[Oil and Natural Gas Corporation|ONGC]], are based. However it will only be for five home matches.<ref>{{cite web|title=I-League returns to Delhi|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-21/i-league/34626828_1_ambedkar-stadium-jatin-bisht-durand-cup|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103085019/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-10-21/i-league/34626828_1_ambedkar-stadium-jatin-bisht-durand-cup|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=5 November 2012}}</ref>

====Goan clubs====
The four [[Goa]]n clubs in the [[I-League]], [[Churchill Brothers S.C.|Churchill Brothers]], [[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]], [[Salgaocar F.C.|Salgaocar]], and [[Sporting Clube de Goa]], usually play their I-League matches at the [[Fatorda Stadium]] in [[Margao]]. However, due to a major revamp at the stadium in preparation for the [[2013 Lusophony Games]] which will be held in Goa, the Goan home games for the I-League will be played at the [[Duler Stadium]] and then the [[Tilak Maidan Stadium]] from the end of January.<ref>{{cite web|title=DULER STADIUM TO HOST I-LEAGUE ON NEW TURF |url=http://www.navhindtimes.in/sports/duler-stadium-host-i-league-new-turf |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130218004019/http://www.navhindtimes.in/sports/duler-stadium-host-i-league-new-turf |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 February 2013 |work=Navhindtimes |access-date=23 December 2012 }}</ref>
