Changes from 2011

edit
  • Norway fell from 8th to 11th in the UEFA coefficient rankings for the 2013–14 European season. Thus the runners-up is no longer qualified to the Champions League.
  • The eleventh placed teams will play a promotion/relegation play-off against the second league's second-place finisher. A play-off was last played in 2006.
