Teams
Kəpəz and Turan were relegated from the 2012–13 Azerbaijan Premier League.
The format of the league changed as a total of 10 teams contested the league, with two clubs relegated in the previous season and no teams promoted from the first division. The competition format follows the usual double round-robin format. During the course of a season, which lasts from August to May, each club plays every other club four times, twice at home and twice away, for a total of 36 games.
As of this season, PFL announced that each player will have to wear not only the number, but also his name on the back of the jersey.
