The 2013–14 season was Liverpool Football Club's 122nd season in existence, and their 51st consecutive season in the top flight of English football. It was also the club's 22nd consecutive season in the Premier League. As well as the Premier League, the club competed in the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Liverpool enjoyed a memorable season, scoring 101 league goals, the highest number of goals scored by a Premier League runner-up and also the third highest number of goals ever scored by the club in the top flight. Luis Suárez finished as the league's top scorer with 31 goals, winning the Premier League Golden Boot as well as the PFA Players' Player of the Year, while Steven Gerrard finished with the most assists, with 13.

Liverpool fans allowed for some optimism during the pre-season as the club looked to attain UEFA Champions League qualification for the first time since finishing second in 2008–09. The team soon exceeded expectations however, with Liverpool securing their pre-season aim of qualifying for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League after winning 2–3 away to Norwich City. After having won 11 games in succession and leading the title race while competing against rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, a 0–2 home defeat to the former and a 3–3 draw away to Crystal Palace led to Liverpool finishing second on the final day, behind champions Manchester City by just two points. This represented the closest the club had come to winning their 19th league title and first since 1990.
