The 2013–14 season was Alfreton Town's third consecutive season in the Conference Premier following their promotion from the Conference North in 2011. The team reached the first round of the FA Cup before being knocked out by Wrexham, the team they beat in the same round last year. Alfreton also took part in the FA Trophy and Derbyshire Senior Cup but were eliminated from both competitions in the opening games.

Dan Bradley also signed a one-year extension, keeping him with the club until the end of the 2014–15 season. The other nine departed the club; Phil Barnes joined former club Gainsborough Trinity, Anton Brown, Leigh Franks and Ashley Worsfold signed for Harrogate Town,Theo Streete moved to Nuneaton Town, Adam Quinn joined Bradford Park Avenue,Nathan Arnold signed for Cambridge United while Ben Gathercole and Gavan Holohan were released.
