The 2013–14 Qatari League, also known as Qatari Stars League was the 41st edition of top-level football championship in Qatar. The season was started on 1 September 2013 and was finished on 11 April 2014. Al-Sadd were the defending champions. Lekhwiya won its third league title with 53 points.
At the end of the previous it was announced that the 2013–14 season would feature 14 teams. The decision to increase the numbers of teams means Al Sailiya – who finished bottom of the league – will avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Muaither – who lost to Al Arabi in the play-offs – will join as the 14th team. The Second Division and the reserve league will also merge to create a stronger second tier. [1] On the 6 October 2013 it was announced that the second tier would be known as the QatarGas League due to sponsorship reasons. [2]
Al Ahli were promoted as champions from the 2nd Division. They were joined by Muaither who came in second place and failed to win the end of season playoff against Al-Arabi but secured promotion due to the league expansion
