The 2013–14 Brisbane Roar season was Roar's ninth season in the A-League. Having arguably fallen from their mantle of being the best team in the country, the Roar were striving to get back to title winning ways by any means necessary. The failure to qualify for the AFC Champions League was seen as an advantage, allowing the club to focus on domestic competition without the distraction of foreign competition. Manager Mike Mulvey was also looking to make his mark on the club during his first full pre season at the club and prove his credentials to the country in the new season.

If there is an uneven number of substitutions made in total, the number of minutes is rounded up to the following number (2.5 mins = 3 mins).If a shot is taken by a player but then saved by the goalkeeper before a follow-up shot scores a goal, the player/s that took the shot before the save is/are NOT credited with an assistIf a Finals game goes to Extra Time and a substitution is made, per the original rule, only the 30 minutes (2x 15-minute halves) is counted, NOT injury time.
