The 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division season is the nineteenth edition of Liga Indonesia Premier Division since its establishment in 1994. The competition is managed by PT. Liga Indonesia. The season scheduled begins in February 2014. On 20 January, PT Liga Indonesia decided to change the schedule for the kickoff of the Premier Division this season was supposed to be held in mid-February was changed to April. After managers meeting on 27 January, PT Liga Indonesia decided that the Premier Division will begin on 15 April 2014 and will end on 27 November 2014.
This season was supposed to be followed by 66 teams, but after the decision of the PSSI disciplinary commission on 21 December 2013, the number of participating clubs was reduced to 64 teams after Bontang F.C. and PSLS Lhokseumawe had been found guilty of match fixing in 2013 Indonesian Premier League playoffs. The number of participating teams can still be reduced if the club can not pass the verification that includes healthy financial condition or not in arrears in the last two seasons, and has adequate infrastructure in the form of a football stadium that meets AFC standards.
After verifying the candidates of participating teams from 3 to 28 February 2014, PT LI released the result on 10 March 2014. The list consisted of 66 teams, including three additional 2013 LPIS Premier Division teams, Persemalra Tual, Persewon Wondama, and Persipon Pontianak. The results were 51 teams passed, 12 teams passed with certain condition, and 3 teams didn't pass, which are Perssin Sinjai, PSSB Bireuen, and Persemalra Tual. Lampung FC was not included on the list.
On 8 April 2014, Persiraja Banda Aceh resigned due to lack of support from the local government. Persiraja re-joined the league after they register players for this season to the league operator although there is no guarantee of support from the local government.
In August 2014 because of financial problems, Persenga Nganjuk and Persitara Jakarta Utara withdrew from the competition and each of their results was voided. On 18 August 2014, Persidafon Dafonsoro also withdrew from the competition.
After PSIS Semarang and PSS Sleman was disqualified because of match fixing, PSGC Ciamis and Persiwa Wamena qualifies to the semifinals.
