This season in the Kuwaiti Premier League, there were 14 teams.
Kuwait SC came into this tournament as defending champion after they won the title last season following four seasons without a league title.
This season's Kuwaiti Premier League featured all 14 teams of the football pyramid, combining both the Premier League and Division One together, a structure last used in the 2005–06 Kuwaiti Premier League season.
Fourteen teams played each other twice to determine the league champions.
Therefore, Kazma, who came bottom in the 2012–13 campaign avoided relegation.
