Teams[]
2012–13 Challenge League champions Aarau were promoted to the 2013–14 Super League. Bellinzona, due to financial irregularities, was ultimately relegated at the end of the season and later dissolved. Locarno was spared from relegation.
The bottom five teams – Stade Nyonnais, Étoile Carouge, Delémont, Kriens and Brühl – were relegated to the newly formed 1. Liga Promotion. No teams replaced them due to the Challenge League being reduced from 16 to 10 teams.
