The 2013–14 A-League season (known as the Hyundai A-League for sponsorship reasons) will be the ninth season of the Australasian A-League football competition since its establishment in 2004.

Western Sydney Wanderers FC are the defending A-League Premiers and Central Coast Mariners FC are the defending A-League Champions.

This season will be the first A-League season to be broadcast on free-to-air television, after SBS obtained the rights to a live Friday night game each week of the A-League season, and all A-League finals games on a one hour delay, on a $160 million four-year broadcast deal.[1][2]
