The 2014 Sporting Kansas City season was the nineteenth season of the team's existence in Major League Soccer and the fourth year played under the Sporting Kansas City moniker.

Sporting Kansas City entered the season in the 2013–14 CONCACAF Champions League championship stage for the first time in franchise history.

Sporting Kansas City also entered the season as the defending MLS Cup champion, after beating Real Salt Lake in PKs in the MLS Cup 2013.

Each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.

The away goals rule is used if the aggregate score is level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so a tie is decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score is level after extra time of the second leg.
