The 2012–13 Eintracht Braunschweig season is the 118th season in the club's football history. In 2012–13 the club plays in the 2. Fußball-Bundesliga, the second tier of German football. It is the club's second consecutive season in this league, having played at this level since 2011–12, after it was promoted from the 3. Liga in 2011.

The club also took part in the 2012–13 edition of the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, where it reached the second round and subsequently lost to Bundesliga side SC Freiburg.[1]

Review and events

Due to the ongoing rebuilding of the Eintracht-Stadion, the stadium's capacity is reduced during the season.[2]

Eintracht Braunschweig started the season by winning five games in a row and taking over first place in the league on the second matchday. The club never left the direct promotion spots for the rest of the season. After having spent the last two decades mostly between the second and third division of German football, Eintracht's resurgence became noted by the German media.[3][4][5][6][7][8] On the 31st matchday the club secured its return to the Bundesliga after a 28 years absence with a 1–0 away win over FC Ingolstadt 04.[9] Damir Vrančić scored the decisive goal from a free-kick in injury time.

With 19 goals, Dominick Kumbela also became topscorer of the 2. Bundesliga.[10]
