The 2014 PLSQ season was the third season of existence for the Première ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division 3 men's semi-professional soccer league and the highest level of soccer fully contained within the province of Québec. It is below Major League Soccer and the North American Soccer League in the Canadian soccer league system, and on the same level as League1 Ontario.

CS Mont-Royal Outremont were the defending league and league cup champions from 2013.

CS Longueuil won the league championship this season, while FC Gatineau won the League cup.

Teams

The 2014 season was contested between six teams - four teams returning from the previous season, with CS Longueuil and ACP Montréal-Nord joining the league while FC Boisbriand, FC Brossard, and the inaugural champion FC St-Léonard did not return. FC L'Assomption became known as FC L'Assomption-Lanaudière.
