The Türkiye 3. Futbol Ligi 1972/73 was the sixth season of the third highest Turkish division in professional men's football. It was started on August 26, 1972 with the 1st game day and ended on June 25, 1973 with the 24th game day.

As in the previous season, the league was designed as a four-track league. In contrast to the previous season, however, all groups consisted of 13 teams instead of the 15th as in the previous season. The reason for the reduction in the number of teams was that there were no promoted teams from the lower league. The four groups were referred to as group red , group white , group green and group blue . At the end of the season, all four winners were promoted directly to the 2nd league .

At the beginning of the season the four relegated teams from the 2nd Lig İzmirspor , Ankara Güneşspor , Toprak Ofisi SK and Tarsus İdman Yurdu were added to the 48 teams remaining from the previous season . There were no newcomers who were either accepted as champions from the then fourth-class regional amateur leagues or who met the requirements of the Turkish Football Association and were thus allowed to participate in the third-highest division.

Eskişehir Demirspor , Tirespor , Erzurumspor and Malatyaspor reached the championship of the 3rd Lig and thus direct promotion to the 2nd Lig . While Beykozspor reached the direct promotion to the 2. Lig, the rise of Lüleburgazspor, Gaziantepspor and Karabükspor meant the first participation of their club stories at the 2nd Lig. End of the season were from the group Red Burdurspor and Muglaspor from the group White İzmir Demirspor and Eyüpspor , from the group Grün Mardinspor and Toprak Ofisi SK and from the group Blau Yenimahalle SK and Sincanspor as relegated to the regional amateur league.
