The Håndboldligaen 2012/13 (officially: Jack & Jones Ligaen ) was the 77th season of the Håndboldligaen , the highest league in Danish men's handball. The Håndboldligaen took place without the defending champions AG København , who filed for bankruptcy before the start of the season. At the end of the season, Aalborg Håndbold celebrated the championship.
The teams in the first eight places were divided into two groups. The teams in first to fourth place were awarded additional points (two points for first and second place, one each for third and fourth place), which they can take with them into the round. The first and second placed in these two groups played against each other in the semi-finals.
Together with the teams in second, third and fourth place in the 1st division, the five teams in ninth to thirteenth place played for free places in the first division in 2013/14. After the preliminary round, the teams were divided into two groups of 4 teams each. The first two of this round qualified for the Håndboldligaen 2013/14, while the third two played against each other for the last free place in the league. The better placed teams in the main round received up to two bonus points.
