The 2012–13 season is Aberdeen's 99th season in the top flight of Scottish football and their 101st season overall. Aberdeen will compete in the Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. A number of players all departed during the summer's pre-season. Kari Arnason, Rory McArdle, Youl Mawene and Mohamed Chalali all moved onto new clubs as free agents. Darren Mackie, Yoann Folly and Danny Uchechi were also released by the club, but remain without a club. Aberdeen also sold youngster Fraser Fyvie to Premier League side Wigan Athletic for a fee in the region of £500,000.

Manager Craig Brown made four additions, bringing in wingers Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn from rival SPL clubs, as well as adding experienced left-back Gary Naysmith to his squad. Mark Reynolds who returned to his parent club Sheffield Wednesday at the end of last season, was allowed to return to Pittodrie on a season long loan.
