At the end of the season, Stabæk and Fredrikstad were relegated directly to 1. divisjon, and will be replaced by Start and Sarpsborg who were directly promoted.

Five teams entered a play-off for the last Tippeligaen spot in the 2013 season. These were:

  • A) Sandnes Ulf (by virtue of being the 14th placed team in the Tippeligaen)
  • B) Sandefjord (by virtue of being the third placed team in the 1. divisjon)
  • C) Mjøndalen (by virtue of being the fourth placed team in the 1. divisjon)
  • D) Bodø/Glimt (by virtue of being the fifth placed team in the 1. divisjon)
  • E) Ullensaker/Kisa (by virtue of being the sixth placed team in the 1. divisjon)

The four 1. divisjon teams first played a single game knockout tournament, with the winner (Ull/Kisa) advancing to a two-legged tie against the Tippeligaen team (Sandnes Ulf) for the 16th and final spot in the 2013 season.
