Hà Nội were to be promoted to the 2013 V-League season but returned to the league because they could not find a separate title sponsor than their parent club. TĐCS Đồng Tháp were relegated from the 2012 V-League season. Vicem Hải Phòng, who were relegated from the 2012 V-League season, will return to compete in the 2013 V-League season after purchasing the place of dissolved Khatoco Khánh Hòa.{{cite web|url=http://vietnamnews.vn/Sports/233894/v-league-cuts-teams-for-new-season-to-start-next-march.html |title=V-League cuts teams for new season to start next March |work=Vietnam News |date=December 10, 2012 |accessdate=December 10, 2012}}

Hà Nội B was dissolved on 27 November 2012 when club officials could not secure a new sponsor after the earlier arrest of Chairman Nguyen Duc Kien caused all sponsorship from his assets to be blocked.{{cite web |url=http://vietnamnews.vn/Sports/233403/two-football-teams-fold-amid-finances-debacle.html |title=Two football teams fold amid finances debacle |work=Vietnam News |date=November 29, 2012 |accessdate=December 2, 2012 |archive-date=December 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121201000946/http://vietnamnews.vn/Sports/233403/two-football-teams-fold-amid-finances-debacle.html |url-status=dead }}

SHB Đà Nẵng B and 2012 Vietnamese Second Division champions and runners-up, Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu and Khatoco Khánh Hòa B, were officially dissolved at a league meeting on 8 December 2012.
