For the first time, the Crown Prince Cup tournament was contested by 30 teams, having been expanded from the 16-team format used since 1991.
Under the new format, last season's finalists received a bye to the Round of 16 while the remaining 28 teams entered at the preliminary stage.
Al-Hilal were the six-time defending champions, but lost in the final against Al-Nassr, who won their third Crown Prince Cup title and first since 1974.
The competition was open to all professional clubs in the top 2 tiers of Saudi football (the Pro League and the First Division).
The final was held on 1 February 2014 in the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
