1.^ 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 license will be relegated to Fyns Series and will be used by Boldklubben 1913 in the next season.
2.^ On 30 April Brønshøj was docked six points due to irregularities with player contracts.
3.^ On 5 May 2013 FC Hjørring was denied license 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.
