Galatasaray were the defending champions, but Fenerbahçe matched their league title record of 19 after drawing 0–0 with Çaykur Rizespor on 27 April.
İstanbul BB, Orduspor and Mersin İdman Yurdu were relegated at the end of the 2012–13 season after finishing in the bottom three places of the standings. İstanbul B.B. was at top level for six years, Orduspor and Mersin İY returned to second level after two years. The relegated teams were replaced by 2012–13 TFF First League champions Kayseri Erciyesspor, runners-up Çaykur Rizespor and play-off winners Konyaspor. They returned to the top division after six, five and two years, respectively.

^ abcdAlthough Fenerbahçe would have qualified for the Champions League group stage as champions, they were barred from participating in next season's European competitions due to UEFA sanctioning because of the 2011 Turkish football match-fixing scandal, with this season also counting for that ban.[45] As a result, the runners-up of the league (Galatasaray) entered the Champions League group stage instead of the third qualifying round, the third-placed team of the league (Beşiktaş) entered the Champions League third qualifying round instead of the Europa League play-off round, and the fourth-placed team of the league (Trabzonspor) entered the Europa League play-off round instead of the third qualifying round.
^ abTrabzonspor finished ahead of Sivasspor on head-to-head record: Trabzonspor–Sivasspor 0–0, Sivasspor–Trabzonspor 0–4.
^ abSivasspor were banned from European competitions by UEFA due to match-fixing.[46] As a result, their Europa League spot was passed down the league to the next eligible team (Karabükspor).
^ abcKasımpaşa, Konyaspor and Gaziantepspor were not granted a UEFA license by the Turkish Football Federation, and could therefore not qualify for European competitions.
