The A-League's 2012–13 season (known as the Hyundai A-League for sponsorship reasons) will be the eighth season of the Australasian A-League football competition since its establishment in 2004. The 2012–13 season will see the introduction of a new Western Sydney-based, FFA funded team, the return of Newcastle Jets FC after their A-League license was returned by FFA and the end of Gold Coast United after they were removed from the competition at the end of the previous season.[1][2][3]

Finals series

In its eighth season the A-League has adopted a new knock-out format for the finals with six teams competing over a three-week series climaxing in the decider. As a result, the play-offs have been reduced from four to three weeks and the top two teams no longer receive a double chance. Instead they will get the opening week of the final series off and will only need to win one game to make the grand final.
