The 2013–14 season was the 110th season in Real Madrid Club de Fútbol's history and their 83rd consecutive season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. It covered a period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014.
The team competed for a record 33rd La Liga title and entered the UEFA Champions League for the 17th successive season, competing for a record 10th title. They also entered the Copa del Rey in the round of 32. Real Madrid's shirt sponsor for this season is Emirates, having replaced Bwin.com.
Los Merengues finished the league campaign in third place (behind Barcelona and cross-city rivals Atletico Madrid) after winning the Copa del Rey – against rivals Barcelona – in April. Upon reaching the 2014 UEFA Champions League Final, they defeated then-recently-league winners Atlético Madrid 4–1 to win their tenth European title.
Real Madrid started the summer without a manager, as José Mourinho departed to manage Chelsea. On 25 June, Carlo Ancelotti was officially announced as Real Madrid's new manager for the next three seasons. He appeared for his first press conference in front of the media on June 26.
On 3 June, Real Madrid announced its first signing of the season by exercising its buyback option for Dani Carvajal from Bayer Luverkusen for €6.5 million.
