The 2012–13 Czech First League, known as the Gambrinus liga for sponsorship reasons, was the 20th season of the Czech Republic's top-tier football league. The defending champions were Liberec, who won their third Czech First League title the previous season.
A number of games were postponed due to adverse weather conditions. On 18 March the game between Jihlava and Mladá Boleslav was postponed due to heavy snow. A second game was postponed, before, on 10 May 2013, the match between Dukla Prague and Brno became the third match to be postponed, this time due to a waterlogged pitch.
Title sponsor Gambrinus introduced Pivo za bůra, an initiative when after a team scored five goals in a league game, fans at the game received a voucher to buy a Gambrinus beer for the symbolic price of 5 Czech koruna before their next home match. During the course of the season, Slavia Prague (twice), Zbrojovka Brno, Sigma Olomouc and Dukla Prague all managed to score five or more goals in a single game to qualify fans in attendance for the offer. Gambrinus also awarded the millionth spectator of the season, a fan of Viktoria Plzeň, a voucher for 100 beers.
