The 2012–13 Oman Elite League (known as the Omantel Elite League for sponsorship reasons) was the 37th edition of the top football league in Oman.[1] It began on 4 October 2012 and was scheduled to finish on 19 May 2013, but for the second season running, the league title had to be decided by a playoff. Fanja SC were the defending champions, having won the previous 2011–12 Elite League season. Al-Suwaiq Club won the Championship Final match against Fanja 3–1 and emerged as the champions of the 2012–13 Oman Elite League.[2]
This season the league had increased from 12 to 14 teams. As a result, despite losing the relegation play-off to Al-Seeb Club, Salalah SC retained their place in the top division and Al-Musannah SC, whose 11th-place finish would have seen them relegated also retained their place in the top division. Ahli Sidab Club, however were relegated to the Second Division League. Saham SC and Al-Nasr S.C.S.C. were promoted to the Omani League (First Division) after finishing in the top two positions in the Second Division League in the 2011–12 season.
