The 2014 UAB Blazers football team represented the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) as a member of the East Division in Conference USA (C-USA) during the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Bill Clark, the Blazers compiled an overall record of 6–6 with a mark of 4–4 in conference play, placing in three-way tie for third in C-USA's East Division. The team played home games at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

Watts announced that the Southern Miss victory would be the last for the program as the university would not field a football team after 2014.
