The 2013–14 season was Oud-Heverlee Leuven's 12th competitive season in professional football and the team's third season in the Belgian Pro League. After struggling the whole season, OH Leuven ended 15th in the league and was forced to play the relegation playoffs against Mons. They did get past Mons but were eventually relegated as they did not manage to win the Belgian Second Division Final Round. OH Leuven also had a mediocre cup run, struggling past Belgian Second Division team Visé before falling 3-0 to Gent.
Not counting defender Zainoul Haidara, who had already signed a contract during the winter 2012–13 transfer window to join the club for the coming season, OHL announces its first signing for the new season with David Wijns, coming from Kortrijk. Wijns is a 26-year-old Belgian defender born in Leuven who played most of his career with Heist, helping the team move up two divisions into the Belgian Second Division before joining Kortrijk.
In the beginning of June, former Belgian international Kevin Roelandts, who was out on loan to Antwerp, signs for Maldegem and thus permanently leaves OH Leuven. Just a few days later, the Belgian Pro League fixtures for the 2013–14 season are announced on June 10. Oud-Heverlee Leuven opens the season with an away match to Kortrijk on 27 July 2013. Just like the previous season, Genk will be the first opponent to come and play at Den Dreef on matchday 2.
