Team changes
- CSG Racing, Target Racing and Vod:Bul Racing were all promoted to the Superleague for the 2014 season.
- Innervision, despite a strong 2013 and only serving two years in the Supercup, chose not to re-apply for 2014.
- PP Dynamic Motorsport (who entered Supercup at the same time as Innervision) had, by contrast, an awful 2013 finishing second from bottom in the Teams' Championship. They too chose not to re-apply for 2014.
New entries
The number of team entries increased to 15 for the 2014 Supercup season with 7 spots available for new teams. Five of the new teams were directly promoted from Formula Challenge.

Calendar changes
- The calender was shortened to 17 races - 1 less than the previous season.
- The Korean, Turkish and French Grands Prix were all removed from the calender
- The location of the German Grand Prix changed from the Nurburgring to the Hockenheimring; the first time the German round of the Supercup was to be held there since 2006.
- The location of the United States Grand Prix also changed. For the first time in Supercup history, the Circuit of the Americas would be used to host the event.
- The Bahrain and Chinese Grands Prix made their return to Supercup calender after a 2 and 1 year absence respectively.
Rule changes
Sporting
- 2014 will see one of the biggest changes to Supercup in the category's history; a move to two races per race evening. Race 1 will be run on a distance of about 175km, with Race 2 roughly 100km (in 2013, the single race was set at 195km). Race 2 will also feature a random reverse grid of the top six to ten drivers from Race 1.
- Another big change was that for the first time movement up into the Superleague would be automatic for the winning driver and team of the 2014 season.
