Shortly before the start of the season Andover resigned from the league and folded. No replacement club was admitted and the season was played with 21 clubs. Therefore, relegation zone was reduced to one place in order to make up the numbers for the 2012-13 season. Division One South & West consisted of 21, including 17 teams from the previous season, three clubs relegated from Premier Division and one new club:

• Didcot Town, relegated from the Premier Division
• Halesowen Town, relegated from the Premier Division
• Poole Town, promoted as champions of the Wessex League
• Tiverton Town, relegated from the Premier Division

Bideford won the division and were promoted to the Southern League Premier Division along with play-off winners Gosport Borough. Stourport Swifts finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
