{{main|2012 Eliteserien promotion/relegation play-offs}}

At the end of the season, Stabæk and Fredrikstad were relegated directly to 1. divisjon, and will be replaced by Start and Sarpsborg who were directly promoted.

Five teams entered a play-off for the last Tippeligaen spot in the 2013 season. These were:

• A) Sandnes Ulf (by virtue of being the 14th placed team in the Tippeligaen)
• B) Sandefjord (by virtue of being the third placed team in the 1. divisjon)
• C) Mjøndalen (by virtue of being the fourth placed team in the 1. divisjon)
• D) Bodø/Glimt (by virtue of being the fifth placed team in the 1. divisjon)
• E) Ullensaker/Kisa (by virtue of being the sixth placed team in the 1. divisjon)

The four 1. divisjon teams first played a single game knockout tournament, with the winner (Ull/Kisa) advancing to a two-legged tie against the Tippeligaen team (Sandnes Ulf) for the 16th and final spot in the 2013 season. Sandnes Ulf retained their Tippeligaen spot with an aggregate 7–1 win over Ull/Kisa.
