Teams

A total of 16 teams contested the league, including 14 sides from the 2012–13 season and two promoted from each of the second-level league, 2012–13 First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and 2012–13 First League of the Republika Srpska.

Gradina was constantly on the last spot already since round 5 and got officially relegated 5 rounds before the season finished, ending their debut season rather unsuccessfully, earning only 9 points, which is the third lowest since the league renamed to Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the year 2000. The relegation of GOŠK was confirmed only after the last round finished, ending their two year run in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The relegated teams were replaced by the champions of the two second–level leagues, Vitez from the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mladost from the First League of the Republika Srpska. Both teams made their debut in the Premier League.
