The 2013–14 Baltic Basketball League was the 10th anniversary season of the Baltic Basketball League.

This time the format featured 21 teams – 6 from Lithuania, 6 from Estonia, 5 from Latvia, 2 from Kazakhstan and 1 from Sweden and Finland. For the regular season the teams were divided into three groups of seven teams and competed in a round-robin competition system, with each team facing their opponent twice. Top five teams of each group and the best sixth placed team qualified for the eight-finals. All play-off games were played in home-and-away series.

The Finals were a Lithuanian clash as Šiauliai took the 2014 title by beating TonyBet 140–123 on aggregate score. Estonian team Tartu Ülikool/Rock won their second Baltic League bronze by beating Tampereen Pyrintö of Finland with aggregate score of 149–127.

If teams are level on record at the end of the Regular season, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:

The criteria for determination of the best team placed 6th:
– Total number of points in each group.
– Total point average in each group

In the knockout phase rounds will be played in a home-and-away format, with the overall cumulative score determining the winner of a round. Thus, the score of one single game can be tied.

All qualified teams for the BBL Eighth-finals will be classified from 1st place to 16th place according to their win-loss records:
