Opening season edit

All but one of the 12 teams that competed in the 2012 Premier League of Belize continued to play in the opening season of 2012–13, with the exception of World FC who were replaced by R.G. City Boys United from Belize City.

The league is split into two zones; Zone A and Zone B. Each team will play teams in their zone twice, plus four out-of-zone games, meaning each team plays a total of 14 regular season games. Subsequently the top 2 teams from each zone advances to the playoffs. The opening season commenced on 25 August 2012.[1]

The Round 10 game between Juventus and Belize Defence Force scheduled for 4 November 2012 was abandoned at half time due to rain, with Belize Defence Force leading 3-0. Juventus forfeited the game on 23 November 2012, giving the 3-0 victory to Belize Defence Force.[2]

The Round 14 game between San Pedro Seadogs and Juventus scheduled for 2 December 2012 was forfeited by Juventus, giving the 3-0 victory to San Pedro Seadogs.[3]

Instead of being split into two groups, like the opening season, there would be one league consisting of 8 teams. The closing season commenced on 9 February 2013.[22]

The Round 8 game between Police United and Placencia Assassins played on 28 March 2013 which was originally won by Placencia 3-0 was overturned after a successful protest by Police United, meaning the latter were awarded the 3-0 victory by default.[23]
