The competitions allows national teams to compete in beach soccer in a league format over the summer months.

This was due to the European qualifying tournament for the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup being held during the EBSL season.

The top six teams of Division A (including the individual Stage winners) will play in the Superfinal in The Hague, the Netherlands from August 23 – 26.

Beginning this season, the Power Horse energy drink company has signed on to become the new sponsor of the EBSL.

BSWW increased the number of participating teams in Division A from eight to twelve in 2013, meaning five nations, rather than the usual one, were promoted at the end of this season.
