The 2013–14 West Coast Conference men's basketball season began with practices in October 2013 and ended with the 2014 West Coast Conference men's basketball tournament at the Orleans Arena March 6–11, 2014 in Las Vegas. The regular season began in November, with the conference schedule starting at the end of December.

This was the 63rd season for the conference, and the 25th under its current name as "West Coast Conference". The conference began as the California Basketball Association in 1952, became the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956, and dropped the word "Athletic" in 1989. The conference went through significant changes this season, adding a new member for the second time in three seasons and bringing the WCC to 10 members. Original conference founder, and a fellow faith-based, private school Pacific, rejoined the conference from the Big West.

  • Pre-season media day took place on Thursday, October 24 at the Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes Studios. Video interviews were hosted on the WCC's streaming video outler, TheW.tv, beginning at 11:30 AM PDT. Jeff Lampe of WCC Live also interviewed each coach and get a preview of their respective season. The regional television schedule announcement, the Preseason All-Conference team, and the pre-season coaches' rankings were some of the additional events that took place.
