The 2012–13 CERH European League was the 48th season of Europe's premier club roller hockey competition organized by CERH, the 16th season since it was renamed from Champions League to European League. 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 of 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.
