The 2013–14 Premier League (known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 22nd season of the Premier League, the top-flight English professional league for men's football clubs. The fixtures were announced on 19 June 2013. The season started on Saturday 17 August 2013, and concluded on Sunday 11 May 2014.

On the final day of the season, Manchester City won the Premier League with a 2–0 victory over West Ham United, finishing with 86 points. Liverpool had looked on course to win the title with two weeks to go, but a loss and a draw in two of their last three matches left the team in second place with 84 points. Chelsea placed third, Arsenal, who led the League for the longest period placed fourth, while 2013 champions Manchester United had a disappointing season and ended up seventh. Norwich City, Fulham, and Cardiff City were the bottom three teams and were relegated to the Football League Championship.

Luis Suárez won the scoring title with 31 goals, and was also named Player of the Season. Goalkeepers Wojciech Szczęsny of Arsenal and Petr Čech of Chelsea led the league with 16 clean sheets each. Tony Pulis of Crystal Palace won the Manager of the Season award.

A total of 20 teams contested the league, including 17 sides from the 2012–13 season and three promoted from the 2012–13 Football League Championship.

On 16 April 2013, Cardiff City earned promotion from the 2012–13 Football League Championship. They returned to the top division after being absent for 51 years. This is the first season which Cardiff City take part in the Premier League. This season featured both Cardiff City and Swansea City, marking the first time the South Wales derby featured in the top flight. It is also the first time that two clubs outside England are featured in the top flight of English football in the same season.
