The best two third-placed teams advanced to the knockout stage, with teams being ranked using points as the only criterion.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/01/97/26/35/1972635_DOWNLOAD.pdf |title=Principles for determining the best third-placed teams |work=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |format=PDF |access-date=2018-02-20 |archive-date=2022-03-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220311072313/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/01/97/26/35/1972635_DOWNLOAD.pdf |url-status=live }} UEFA introduced this principle to avoid teams entering their final matches and "playing on" the previous results, and also to negate the factor of the potentially different strengths of the groups by eliminating goal difference from the calculation. As both Denmark and Russia finished with two points, in accordance with the regulations, UEFA conducted a drawing of lots on 18 July following the completion of the group matches to determine which of these two teams would advance: Denmark was selected and so advanced.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/020b-0e15d9f68ffe-350b03f37cf4-1000--denmark-complete-quarter-final-lineup/|title=Denmark complete quarter-final lineup|work=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=18 July 2013|access-date=18 July 2013|archive-date=22 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130722000710/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1973112.html|url-status=live}}

The eight advancing teams entered the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament. In the knockout stage (including the final), if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes, extra time of two periods (15 minutes each) was played. If the score was still level after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shootout.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/competitions/Regulations/01/55/42/07/1554207_DOWNLOAD.pdf |title=Regulations of the UEFA European Women's Football Championship 2011–13 |work=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |page=11 |format=PDF |access-date=2018-02-20 |archive-date=2022-11-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110191127/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/competitions/Regulations/01/55/42/07/1554207_DOWNLOAD.pdf |url-status=live }}

The official anthem of the tournament was "Winning Ground", composed by Stefan Örn and performed by Swedish pop star Eric Saade.{{cite web|title=Women's EURO anthem launched|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0209-0e140be3a266-eb48e3d7bbbe-1000--women-s-euro-anthem-launched/|work=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=27 May 2013|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-date=8 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608005926/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1957691.html|url-status=live}} The title of the song was also the slogan of the final tournament.{{cite web|title=Organisers thrilled by Women's EURO interest|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/020b-0e141f4048f8-b7421f367998-1000--organisers-thrilled-by-women-s-euro-interest/|work=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=9 July 2013|access-date=16 July 2013|archive-date=14 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130714022036/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1969689.html|url-status=live}} The song was presented on 27 May 2013 at the Friends Arena in an event also featuring Tyresö players Lisa Dahlkvist of Sweden, Denmark's Line Røddik Hansen, Spain's Verónica Boquete and the Netherlands' Kirsten van de Ven.

Tickets for the finals were released on 14 February 2013, available to buy via UEFA's online sales portal or from the Ticnet agency in Sweden.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0206-0e13ebfdbd33-e389f2caa69e-1000--uefa-women-s-euro-2013-tickets-go-on-sale/ |title=UEFA Women's EURO 2013 tickets go on sale |work=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=14 February 2013 |access-date=16 July 2013 |archive-date=24 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724052431/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1916290.html |url-status=live }} The pricing structure was the same for all venues: SEK 200 (approximately €23.50{{efn|Currency rates are as 14 February 2013 when tickets were released for sale.}}) for Category 1 matches, SEK 150 (≈€17.60) for Category 2 and SEK 100 (≈€11.75) for Category 3. Youth tickets, for those aged up to 16, cost SEK 50 (≈€5.85) for all categories. A so-named Follow Your Team Ticket which gave entrance to all three group matches of a selected team was also sold.

The tournament soon surpassed the previous ticket sales record of 129,000 set in 2009, which prompted the organisers to open up the entire 50,000 seats of the Friends Arena for the final, in contrast to the original plan to place only 30,000 tickets on sale.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/020b-0e1437298cb4-d5773b732a56-1000--more-final-tickets-go-on-sale/ |title=More final tickets go on sale |work=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=22 July 2013 |access-date=26 July 2013 |archive-date=23 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723213117/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1974718.html |url-status=live }} The final set a new attendance record for a Women's Euros fixture (41,301) and helped bring the total number of tickets sold for the tournaments to 216,888.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0252-0ce447fd8df5-ab59a1b6e0b1-1000--sixth-maybe-the-best-for-germany/|title=Sixth maybe the best for Germany|work=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=29 July 2013|access-date=29 July 2013|archive-date=1 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801040809/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1977504.html|url-status=live}} In addition to attending the matches, the tournament became the first Women's Euros event to feature fan zones where fans could gather together to view matches on big screens.{{cite web|title=Fan zone first for UEFA Women's EURO 2013|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/020b-0e1420e0549d-24d46a3720dd-1000--fan-zone-first-for-uefa-women-s-euro-2013/|work=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=11 July 2013|access-date=16 July 2013|archive-date=14 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130914181527/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1970331.html|url-status=live}}
