The Turkish Airlines Euroleague 2012–13 was the 13th season of the modern era of Euroleague Basketball and the third under the title sponsorship of the Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous incarnation as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this was the 56th season of the premier competition for European men's clubs. The Final Four was held at The O2 Arena in London. It was won by Olympiacos (3rd title), who defeated Real Madrid 100–88 in the championship game. Olympiacos became the just third team since the introduction of the Final Four format to win two Euroleague championships in a row, and the 2nd team in Euroleague Basketball Company era (Euroleague 2000–01 season to present) to become back-to-back Euroleague champions.
