Idol 2013 was the Swedish Idol series' ninth season which premiered on August 19, 2013.[1][2] and ended on December 6, 2013. In January 2013, TV4 confirmed that the Idol series would be returning after a year's hiatus after Idol 2011.[3]

The contestants included professional footballer Kevin Walker, who played in the Swedish second division for GIF Sundsvall. A few of Walker's matches with the team were moved to avoid a clash with his television commitments.[4]

Winner of season nine was Kevin Walker.
