Teams

A total of 18 teams were contesting the league, including 15 sides from the 2012–13 season and two sides promoted directly from the 2012–13 2. Bundesliga season. Fortuna Düsseldorf and Greuther Fürth were relegated from the Bundesliga after a single season and were replaced by Hertha Berlin, 2. Bundesliga champions and runners-up Eintracht Braunschweig. Hertha made an immediate return to the top level, but Eintracht made their first appearance after 28 years in the second and third levels. The final participant was determined in the two-legged play-off, in which 16th placed Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim defeated 1. FC Kaiserslautern, who finished third in 2. Bundesliga.
