Format

Teams play each other on a home and away basis

The winners will represent Pakistan at the 2013 AFC President's Cup. The bottom two teams will be relegated to the Pakistan Football Federation League.

Teams

Pakistan Police and Pak Elektron were relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season and were replaced by Wohaib and Zarai Taraqiati.

The Pakistan Navy on the other hand have vacated their previous home ground, the Municipal Stadium in Rawalpindi for the Karachi Port Trust Stadium in Karachi due to the former ground having various issues with the pitch condition,[7] thus KPT Stadium will be used by three teams this season, other two being Karachi Port Trust and National Bank, both has used KPT Stadium as their home ground since the start of Pakistan Premier League.
