# 2013–14 LEB Oro season

The 2013–14 LEB Oro season was the 18th season of the Liga Española de Baloncesto, a Spanish basketball league. It was named Adecco Oro as its sponsored identity. The champion of the regular season, River Andorra MoraBanc was promoted to Liga ACB. The teams between second and ninth position joined the promotion play off, where the winner, Ford Burgos was promoted too to the higher division.

## Competition format
### Regular season

The regular season was played by round-robin system.
After the first leg of the season, the two top qualified teams played the Copa Príncipe de Asturias and the leader will be the host team.
At the final of the season:
* The regular season winner promoted directly to Liga ACB.
* Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, joined the promotion play-offs to ACB.
* Teams qualified in positions 12th and 13th would play the relegation playoffs.

On November 7, after five games played, the Spanish Basketball Federation, in agreement with the clubs of the league, decided to change the competition format:
* Teams in positions 13th and 14th would be relegated directly, instead the relegation playoffs between 12th and 13th
* Quarterfinals were reduced to a best-of-three games format.
