The 2013–14 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (known as BH Telecom Premier League for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the fourteenth season of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highest football league of Bosnia and Herzegovina, since its original establishment in 2000 and twelfth as a unified country-wide league. The season began on 27 July 2013[2] and ended on 10 May 2014, with a winter break between 2 December 2013 and 1 March 2014.[3]

Zrinjski were crowned national champions for the third time, while defending champions Željezničar ended up in fourth place.

Leotar and Rudar Prijedor were relegated at the end of the season.

Teams

A total of 16 teams contested the league, including 14 sides from the 2012–13 season and two promoted from each of the second-level leagues, the 2012–13 First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the 2012–13 First League of the Republika Srpska.

Gradina was constantly in last place already since round 5 and was officially relegated 5 rounds before the season finished, ending their debut season rather unsuccessfully, earning only 9 points, which is the third lowest since the league was renamed to the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2000. The relegation of GOŠK Gabela was confirmed only after the last round finished, ending their two-year run in the Premier League.

The relegated teams were replaced by the champions of the two second–level leagues, Vitez from the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mladost Velika Obarska from the First League of the Republika Srpska. Both teams made their debut in the Premier League.
