The 2013-14 Brack.ch Challenge League is the 11th season of the Brack.ch Challenge League, the second tier in the Swiss football pyramid. It began on 13 July 2013[1] and ended on 18 May 2014.

Participating Teams

2012–13 Challenge League champions Aarau were promoted to the 2013–14 Super League. Bellinzona, due to financial irregularities, was ultimately relegated at the end of the season and later dissolved. Locarno was spared from relegation.

The bottom five teams – Stade Nyonnais, Étoile Carouge, Delémont, Kriens and Brühl – were relegated to the newly formed 1. Liga Promotion. No teams replaced them due to the Challenge League being reduced from 16 to 10 teams.
