Of the 24 participating teams, eighteen remain following the 2012–13 Football League Championship. They are joined by three teams promoted from the 2012–13 Football League One and three relegated from the 2012–13 Premier League.

On 20 April 2013, Bournemouth were promoted to the Championship after Brentford's 1–1 draw with Hartlepool. A week later, Doncaster were promoted as champions of League One after scoring a late goal against Brentford. This pushed Bournemouth down to second place. On 19 May, Yeovil Town won promotion by beating Brentford in the 2013 Football League One play-off final.

On 28 April 2013, Queens Park Rangers and Reading were both relegated from the Premier League after a goalless draw against each other. On 14 May, Wigan Athletic were relegated from the Premier League after a 4–1 defeat at Arsenal.
