The New Zealand Football Championship's 2013–14 season (known as the ASB Premiership for sponsorship reasons) will be the tenth season of the NZFC since its establishment in 2004. The home and away season will begin on 10 November 2013 with the final scheduled to be on 16 March 2014. Auckland City and Waitakere United will represent the ASB Premiership in the 2013–14 OFC Champions League after finishing Champions and Runners-up respectively in the 2012–13 competition. Two franchises have had changes to the clubs branding for this season, with Otago United changing to Southern United and Waikato FC changing to Waibop United. YoungHeart Manawatu has been replaced with Wanderers SC, which aims to give young football players top level matches under the New Zealand Football High Performance Strategy.[1]
Due to a breach of player eligibility regulations, the match between Wanderers SC and Hawke's Bay United on 12 January – originally a 1–3 win to Hawke's Bay United – has been awarded as a 3–0 win to Wanderers SC.[2]
