Sixteen teams from six national associations qualified to the competition as a result of their respective national league placing in the previous season. Following a group stage and a knockout round, the four best teams contested a final four tournament to decide the competition winners, which took place in the venue of one the teams.

The 2012–13 CERH European League final four took place in Porto, Portugal, at the Dragão Caixa, home of Porto, who qualified for this round together with Benfica (Portugal), Barcelona (Spain) and Valdagno (Italy). In the first all-Portuguese final, Benfica defeated the hosts FC Porto by 6–5 with a golden goal in extra-time, and secured their first European League title.
