The 2013-14 season is Burton Albion's fifth consecutive season in League Two. They finished 4th in the previous season but failed to get promotion via the playoffs. It is Gary Rowett's second season as manager of the club.

Burton Albion's league campaign began well with a 2-2 away draw against Cheltenham Town on the opening day of the season, which was followed by a 1-0 victory versus Rochdale in their first home game of the season. In the following match they held off a Fleetwood Town comeback to beat the Lancashire side 3–2, to give them their first league away win since March 2013 (excluding play-offs).

In the League Cup, Burton were drawn against Sheffield United away in the first round. They won 2-1. On 8 August 2013, they were drawn a home tie against Premier League side Fulham in the second round. Against Fulham, Albion equallised with five minutes remaining through Jack Dyer before taking the lead 12 minutes into extra-time, before conceding through Hugo Rodallega. After the 2–2 draw Phil Edwards was the only player to miss a penalty and Albion crashed out 4–5 in the shoot-out. After the match Burton manager Gary Rowett said he was incredibly proud to nearly knock the Premier League side out.
