The 2013 season of the Indian Premier League, abbreviated as IPL 6 or IPL 2013, will be the sixth season of the Indian Premier League. Indian Premier League was established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007 and the debut season of IPL took place in 2008. This will be the first season with PepsiCo as the title sponsor.

Nine teams will compete in 76 matches from 3 April 2013 to 26 May 2013. The opening ceremony of the IPL 6 will be held at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on evening of Tuesday, April 2 of 2013.

Kolkata Knight Riders will enter the season 6 of IPL as defending champion, having won IPL 2012, defeating Chennai Super Kings on 27 May 2012 at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Sponsorship

PepsiCo replaced DLF Ltd as the title sponsor starting with the 2013 season. DLF did not renew their contract after their initial five-year contract, for ₹250 crore, ended with the previous season. It was speculated that their choice was attributed to the slump in the real estate market and the decline in the IPL's television ratings over the previous two years. PepsiCo's contract is ₹396.8 crore for five years, ending with the 2017 season.

Termination of Deccan Chargers

Deccan Chargers, champions of 2009 Indian Premier League, became the second team to be terminated from the IPL after Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The owners failed to save the team after several attempts were made with the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court of India. Immediately after the Chargers' termination, the BCCI invited bidders for a replacement team also based in Hyderabad. It was announced on 25 October 2012 that Sun TV Network won the bid at ₹85.05 crore per year. The new team was named the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Sri Lankan Players' call back

As a result of the recent alleged Sri Lankan War Crimes, and anti-Sinhalese sentiments in the state of Tamil Nadu, Sri Lankan players were unsure whether they should continue to play in IPL 2013. Jayalalitha, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu wrote to the Prime Minister that matches would be permitted in the state only if there were no Sri Lankan players, umpires, officials or support staff in these matches.

Personnel changes

In October 2012, the teams were allowed to release any number of their players from their contracts to reduce their player costs. The released players would enter the auction. Starting from this season, domestic players will be put into auction. The players' auction will be held on 3 February 2013. 37 players were sold at the auction.
