The Flames, for the first time in their history, secured a back to back trophy by winning the league championship for the second time in as many seasons, thanks to a loss for the Basingstoke Bison, along with a single point during a 2–1 overtime loss at the Sheffield Steeldogs on Saturday 16 March 2013. Just four days later a capacity Spectrum witnessed a 'double, double' when the Flames repeated last year's entire trophy haul with a 5–3 Cup win, 9–5 on aggregate, over the visiting Slough Jets.

The Flames ended the regular league season with 79 points from 54 games. They won the league by a five-point margin with the Basingstoke Bison finishing as runners-up with 74 points from 54 games.

The Manchester Phoenix captured the playoff title, and brought a halt to the Flames treble bid, with a 5–2 victory.
