The 2012–13 figure skating season began on July 1, 2012, and ended on June 30, 2013.
During this season, elite skaters from men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance competed on the International Skating Union (ISU) Championship level at the 2013 European, Four Continents, World Junior, and World Championships.
Skaters were eligible to compete in International Skating Union (ISU) events at the junior or senior levels according to their age.
These rules may not have applied to non-ISU events such as national championships.
[1] If skaters of different nationalities formed a team, the ISU required that they choose one country to represent.
