The 2014 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (also called Charlotte or UNC Charlotte) in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. This was the second season for 49ers football and they were classified as an FCS independent school, meaning they had no athletic conference affiliation for the 2014 season. The team was led by head coach Brad Lambert and played its home games on campus at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. As the team was in their two-year transition period before reclassifying to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), they were ineligible to participate in the FCS playoffs. They finished the season 5–6.

The following recruits and transfers have given verbal commitments to the Charlotte 49ers football program for the 2014 recruiting year.

Local TV coverage continued on WCCB with Sam Smith calling play-by-play. Former Carolina Panther Quarterback Brett Basanez and Jeff Zell with color commentary; and Brandon Davidow from the sideline.

Radio coverage for all games was broadcast by IMG College through the Charlotte 49ers Radio Network flagship station WFNZ 610 am The Fan. The radio announcers are Matt Swierad with play-by-play, former Carolina Panther Kevin Donnalley with color commentary, and Bobby Rosinski with sideline reports.

In this rematch the Campbell Fighting Camels were looking for revenge against the Charlotte 49ers for their 52 to 7 loss in the 49ers' debut game the previous year, but the 49ers would prevail again in the return game.
