Participating teams

Locations of the teams in 1. Divisjon, 2012

2012 champions Avaldsnes were promoted to the Toppserien at the end of the 2012 season. They were replaced by Fart, who were relegated from the 2012 Toppserien. Alta and Voss were relegated at the end of the 2012 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the table. They were replaced by the two playoff-winners Kaupanger and Lyn. In January 2013, Toppserien-club Kattem withdrew from the league. Their place in the 2013 Toppserien was first offered to Fart, who declined, and then to Medkila, who accepted.[3] Alta were then offered Medkila's place in the 2013 First Division, but declined.[4] The offer then went to Voss, who accepted, and took their place in the 2013 1. Division despite finishing last in 2012. Subsequently, Sola withdrew their team from the 2013 1. Division. The football association decided not to offer Sola's place to another team. The season will therefore be played with only 11 teams.[5]
