The 2014 North Carolina A&T Aggies football team represented North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They were led by fourth-year head coach Rod Broadway and played their home games at Aggie Stadium. They were a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. They finished the season 9–3, 6–2 in MEAC play to finish in a five way tie for the MEAC championship. However, they did not earn the conference's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs and did not receive an at-large bid.
The Aggies finished the 2013 season with a 7–4 record, 4–4 in MEAC play to finish in a three way tie with Hampton & Howard for 5th place.
During the annual MEAC Media Day, North Carolina A&T were selected to finish 3rd in the conference. The conference also released the 2014 All-MEAC Preseason team, which included 10 North Carolina A&T Aggies. Of the 10 players named, sophomore Running Back Tarik Cohen, senior Wide Receiver Desmond Lawrence, fifth-year Offensive Lineman Willie Robinson, and fifth-year Linebacker D'Vonte Grant were named to the conference's first team.

With the game's regular venue, Downtown Orlando's Florida Citrus Bowl in the midst of renovations, the 10th annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge was played at Bright House Networks Stadium on the campus of UCF. This was the first meeting between the two teams, and A&T's first time playing in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge. The game also marked the fifth time that A&T head coach Rod Broadway would face Alabama A&M during his coaching career. Broadway has an undefeated record against the Bulldogs, winning all four previous meetings.
