Of the 18 participating teams, 13 remain following the 2012–13 I liga. They are joined by four teams promoted from the 2012–13 II liga and one relegated from the 2012–13 Ekstraklasa.
On 8 June 2013, Puszcza and Wisła Płock were promoted to the I liga from the eastern group of II liga after Pelikan Łowicz's 2–1 loss to Stal Rzeszów. A day later, Energetyk ROW and Chojniczanka joined them as champions and runners-up of II liga West following Bytovia's 4–0 loss to MKS Kluczbork.
On 28 May 2013 the PZPN announced their final decision that highly indebted Polonia Warsaw will be demoted from Ekstraklasa. Had they improved their financial situation, Polonia would be eligible to play in 2013–14 I liga. However, the club again failed to meet the Polish FA's financial criteria and will play in the North Mazovia IV liga. As a result, the 15th placed teams of the 2012–13 Ekstraklasa and the 2012–13 I liga avoided relegation.
On 2 June 2013, GKS Bełchatów were relegated from the Ekstraklasa despite winning the final game against Piast Gliwice, as the other relegation threatened team Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała defeated Widzew Łódź 2–1.
