The 2013–14 Saudi Professional League (officially known as the Abdul Latif Jameel League, because of its sponsorship) was the 39th season of Saudi Professional League since its establishment in 1975.

Al Fateh were the defending champions for this season, having won the previous 2012–13 season.[1] The season was featured 12 teams from the 2012–13 League and two new teams promoted from the 2012–13 First Division: Al-Oruba and Al-Nahda who replace relegated Hajer and Al-Wahda.

On 28 March 2014, Al-Nassr won the title after a 1–1 away game with Al-Shabab. It was their first league title since 1995 and their seventh league title overall.
