Early in the playoffs, Standard immediately beat Anderlecht and knocked them down to eight points behind, seemingly setting up a final title race between them and Club Brugge.

2013–14 Belgian Pro League
In the bottom end of the table, Mons started miserably after finishing 7th the previous season, scoring only three points out of their first 15 matches. Their better second half of the season did not help in avoiding the last place. They were thereby forced to play the relegation playoff together with Oud-Heverlee Leuven, who had been struggling to set up a series of decent results, mainly driven by their horrendous away form, drawing only three matches away from home the whole season, while losing all the others. Mons were relegated on 12 April after yet another 2-0 away to OH Leuven, while Leuven themselves faced relegation on 18 May as they could no longer win the Belgian Second Division Final Round.

As a result, the teams started with the following points before the playoff: Standard 34 points, Club Brugge 32, Anderlecht 29, Zulte Waregem 27, Lokeren 26 and Genk 23. Had any ties occurred at the end of the playoffs, the half point would have been deducted if it was added. However, as all six teams received the half point bonus, this did not make a difference this season.

2013–14 Belgian Pro League, Relegation playoff
The teams finishing in the last two positions faced each other in the relegation playoff. The winner of this playoff played the second division playoff with three Belgian Second Division teams, with the winner playing at the highest level the next season. The loser faced relegation. For finishing 15th, Oud-Heverlee Leuven received the home advantage and an initial lead of 3 points over Mons. Mons was relegated on 12 April as OHL had obtained a lead of 9 points with only 2 matches left.

The seven schools that did not sponsor FBS football purchased the "Big East" name and reorganized as a new Big East, while the FBS schools that had not left for other conferences retained the original Big East charter and are now operating as the American Athletic Conference (The American). Both leagues, however, claim the 1979 founding date of the original Big East as their own founding dates.

While both offshoot leagues initially claimed the history of the original conference, that has apparently changed, as the basketball history of the original Big East is now claimed by the current Big East, and The American now considers its basketball history to have begun with the conference split. Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers, South Florida, and UConn, the five full members of the original Big East that sponsored FBS football before the split, joined with several new members to reorganize as The American.

2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Background and pre-season
When previous manager Chris Hughton resigned in 2012 to join Norwich City, he was reported to have "freely admitted privately that he felt it would be difficult to replicate what happened last season this season, and that things at Blues would get worse before they got better." Club president and major shareholder Carson Yeung's assets remained frozen and trading in the holding company's shares remained suspended, which combined with an income stream seriously reduced since relegation from the Premier League left new manager Lee Clark working for a club needing to generate cashflow by selling players. Birmingham finished 12th in the 2012–13 Football League Championship, their lowest finish since 1995–96.


2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Background and pre-season

Curtis Davies and Nathan Redmond were sold to Premier League clubs for initial fees totalling something over £4.2 million, and high earners Marlon King, Peter Løvenkrands, Hayden Mullins and Darren Ambrose were told they were free to leave if they could find another club, though as in previous transfer windows, there were no takers for Nikola Žigić, who had one year left on his contract.


2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Background and pre-season
Clark was able to attract several out-of-contract signings: Ireland international goalkeeper Darren Randolph from Motherwell, Scottish Player of the Year-shortlisted Andrew Shinnie, an attacking midfielder from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Blackpool right-back Neal Eardley, young midfielder Tom Adeyemi from Norwich City, forward Lee Novak, who had worked with Clark at Huddersfield Town, and Conference top scorer Matt Green from Mansfield Town. Clark also utilised the loan market, bringing in young centre-backs Kyle Bartley from Swansea City and Fulham's Dan Burn, attacking midfielder Scott Allan from West Bromwich Albion, and Newcastle United wing-back Shane Ferguson, who had spent time on loan at Birmingham in 2012–13.


2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Background and pre-season
The home kit consisted of a royal blue shirt with broad white front panel in a "penguin" style, with white shorts and royal blue socks.

The opening-day fixture, at home to last season's playoff finalists Watford, was preceded by a minute's silence in memory of Christian Benítez, who died at the age of 27 on 29 July in a Qatar hospital of cardiorespiratory failure caused by a degenerative defect in a coronary artery. "Chucho" played in the 2009–10 Birmingham team that produced a club record 15-match unbeaten run and finished ninth in the Premier League – their best finish for more than 50 years – and was a member of the starting eleven that was selected unchanged for a Premier League record nine consecutive matches.


2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Football League Championship, August–September
Birmingham lined up against Watford in a 3–5–2 formation, with six debutant free-transfer signings, three loanees (a fourth, Scott Allan, came on as a second-half substitute), and two 34-year-olds. Nikola Žigić was unavailable through injury. The difference between the teams lay in their finishing. Matt Green missed with only the goalkeeper to beat, Wade Elliott's powerful shot from distance was deflected onto the crossbar, and Dan Burn might have scored twice late on. Troy Deeney played a one-two with Fernando Forestieri and scored the only goal of the game with a low shot into the far corner after 11 minutes.


2013–14 Birmingham City F.C. season, Football League Championship, August–September
For Birmingham's 2000th match in the second tier of English football, and Yeovil Town's first home game at that level, Hayden Mullins replaced Kyle Bartley in the starting eleven, playing at centre-half rather than his customary central midfield. The only goal of the game came just after half-time; Shane Ferguson's corner kick caused chaos as Byron Webster's attempted clearance rebounded off Danny Seaborne for an own goal. The goal was originally credited to Burn, who had scored the winner for Yeovil in the 2013 playoff final. Darren Randolph made a double save in the first half, and turned Webster's powerful header onto the bar with his leg in the second.

Clark selected midfielder Allan instead of Green for the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion, who had lost their three games so far, so there was no recognised striker alongside the hard-working Lee Novak. After a goalless first half, first Andy Shinnie and then Novak hit the crossbar with shots from distance. Randolph kept out a powerful shot from former Birmingham loanee Kemy Agustien, then the same player fed Andrew Crofts to score the only goal of the game; Clark was disappointed by his team's failure to close the move down.

Marlon King's contract was terminated by mutual consent ahead of the transfer window closing. Peter Løvenkrands, who had also been made available on a free transfer and had played no previous part on a matchday, partnered Novak in attack as, for the first time this season, Clark set the team up in a 4–4–2 formation. With Paul Robinson at left back, Bartley at centre back, and a first league start of the season for Chris Burke, Birmingham conceded after half an hour to Ipswich Town's Christophe Berra's header, and Randolph made several saves before Burke's deflected shot saved a point. Neal Eardley left the field soon after the opening goal with an apparently serious knee injury.

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp thought that Birmingham were the better side in the first half. Novak headed against a goalpost, the unmarked Shinnie shot over an open goal when played in by Novak, Jonathan Spector's neat finish was disallowed for offside, and the same player was booked for diving when apparently tripped in the penalty area by Richard Dunne. Birmingham lost 1–0 when Tom Adeyemi's sliced clearance rebounded off the underside of the crossbar to Charlie Austin. Play was interrupted by a blue smoke bomb thrown from the visitors' end. Without suspended captain Paul Robinson, Birmingham lost 3–0 at Burnley, a poor performance enlivened by the debut of 17-year-old Academy midfielder Reece Brown.

David Murphy made his return from ten months out with a knee problem in the home match with fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday, for whom former Birmingham centre-half Roger Johnson was making his first appearance. A more spectacular debut was that of Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard. Going straight into Birmingham's starting eleven wearing number 9, Lingard scored his first senior goal after 20 minutes when goalkeeper Chris Kirkland parried Burke's shot, completed his hat-trick 13 minutes later, and scored a fourth in the second half. Reality resumed away at Reading, where Callum Reilly made his first start of the season, and Birmingham lost to two Danny Guthrie free kicks.

Ten minutes into the match at home to Millwall, Birmingham were awarded a penalty for a foul on Lingard outside the area; Lingard's kick was saved. By half-time, Murphy had given Birmingham the lead, converting Shinnie's cross from a narrow angle and hitting a characteristic free kick from distance. After Adeyemi chipped a parried shot back over the goalkeeper, Murphy came close to completing his hat-trick with another free kick before Lingard's late header made the final score 4–0.

The up-and-down nature of Birmingham's season continued at home to Bolton Wanderers, when Burn's failure to react to a clearance allowed Jermaine Beckford a clear run from the halfway line, and former Blues player Neil Danns took advantage of Randolph misjudging a cross. A header initially credited to Žigić was apparently touched over the line by Novak, and a strong appeal for a penalty, when Reilly's shot struck Liam Feeney's raised hands, was turned down.

Without Adeyemi and Reilly because of illness, Olly Lee made his Championship debut, and Dan Burn was substituted at half time after a poor team performance in which Leeds United scored three times. With Shinnie and Žigić on the field, Birmingham improved in the second half, but were unable to take their chances, and the match finished 4–0. At Derby County, a game of numerous chances saw Novak equalise with his first touch, watching a high cross from Caddis down to hit "a sweet sidefoot volley" past the goalkeeper.

After a fine performance in a losing cause in the League Cup in midweek, Birmingham's players struggled in their next league encounter. Winger Demarai Gray made his first start, Burn's early goal was disallowed when the referee decided that Novak had fouled the goalkeeper, and Løvenkrands hit a late chance well over the bar, but Randolph's 57th-minute double save needed to be a triple, Charlton Athletic scored, and Birmingham dropped into the relegation zone.

Žigić opened the scoring at Huddersfield Town when he was first to the rebound from an 11th-minute shot by Novak, making his first return to his former club, and Anthony Gerrard equalised 20 minutes later. In the second half, Kyle Bartley, preferred to the previously ever-present Burn, scored twice with headed goals from set-pieces, briefly stepped over the advertising hoardings in celebration of the second, and was sent off for a second yellow card.

Polish international Dariusz Dudka nearly marked his debut against Blackpool with a goal, and Burn risked injury blocking Tom Ince's shot against the goalpost, as Lingard was Birmingham's only scorer in a 1–1 draw despite late chances for Novak and Gray. Paul Caddis scored his first goals for Birmingham at Barnsley, with a run and 25-yard (23 m) shot and a penalty after Žigić was fouled, and his pass was deflected to Zigic who touched it over former Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland to complete a 3–0 win and finish November in 19th place in the table.

Novak converted Hancox's cross to take the lead at home to Doncaster Rovers, but the lowest league attendance of the season, officially announced as 12,663, saw David Cotterill's "unstoppable 30-yard effort" give the visitors a draw and take Birmingham's run without a home win to nine weeks. Substitute Chris Burke, a half-time replacement for loan striker Aaron Mclean, played a major role in earning Birmingham a draw at home to Middlesbrough. After Jonathan Woodgate narrowly failed to head past his own goalkeeper, Burke was fouled for a penalty, converted by Caddis to tie the scores.
