Maribor were the defending champions, having won their 10th league title the previous season. The season featured nine teams from the 2011–12 Slovenian PrvaLiga and one team from the 2011–12 Slovenian Second League, Aluminij, who was promoted directly as the winners of the second division, replacing Nafta. This was the first season for Aluminij in the top division.[3]
A total of ten teams contested the league, including nine from the 2011–12 Slovenian PrvaLiga and one promoted from the 2011–12 Slovenian Second League. Aluminij secured direct promotion as champions of the Slovenian Second League. They replaced Nafta Lendava in the top division, who finished at the bottom of the PrvaLiga table, ending their seven-season tenure in the top division. This was the first season for Aluminij in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. Even though Dob won the relegation play-offs against Triglav Kranj, they declined promotion to the top division because of financial reasons; as a result, Triglav was not relegated and remained in the PrvaLiga for the 2012–13 season.[3]

Relegation play-offs
Mura 05, who finished in ninth place in the league, should play against Dob, who finished in second place in the Slovenian Second League. However, Mura 05 did not get the competition licence for the 2013–14 season and was dissolved, while Dob declined promotion, so the third-placed team of the Slovenian Second League, Krka, got promoted.
Every team plays four times against their opponents, twice at home and twice on the road, for a total of 36 matches.

- A The official figure of 0 attendance on a match between Mura 05 and Koper, during the 34th round, is disputed and presumably wrong. Although the PrvaLiga uses the figure on their official website it can be clearly seen from the official video summary of the match, on the same website, that during the match there were several hundred spectators on the stands.[6] A report from the Slovenian Press Agency uses the figure of 500 spectators for the match.[7]
