* ↑ On 5 May 2013 FC Hjørring was denied licence renewal because the club failed to meet the economic requirements. The Danish FA decided that the club would be relegated to second division at the end of the season. The decision was appealed by the club and since the club was able to raise the necessary money, the decision was reversed and the club was allowed to stay in the league.
* ↑ On 30 April Brønshøj was docked six point due to irregularities with player contracts.
* ↑ On 1 February 2013 FC Fyn went bankrupt. They were docked three points for going into administration and later the team dissolved itself and withdrew from the tournament. With that they lost their remaining matches 3-0. The licence was relegated to Funen Series and used by Boldklubben 1913 in the following season.
