The 2013 Categoría Primera A season (officially known as the 2013 Liga Postobón season for sponsorship reasons) was the 66th season of Colombia's top-flight football league. Millonarios came in as the defending champions having won the title in the 2012 Finalización.

Format

Both the Apertura and Finalización had an identical format. Each championship was divided into three stages. The First Stage was contested on a home-and-away basis, with each team playing the other teams once and playing a regional rival once more. The top eight teams after eighteen rounds advanced to a semifinal round, of two groups of four playing once more on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each semifinal group advanced to the final of the tournament, which was played as a double-legged series. The winner of the final was declared the tournament champion and participated in the 2014 Copa Libertadores.
