The 2013–14 LEB Plata season is the 13th season of the LEB Plata, the Spanish basketball third division. It is named Adecco Plata as its sponsored identity.

Competition format

- A maximum of two players from the EU or ACP countries.
Regular season
Like many other leagues in continental Europe, the Liga LEB takes a winter break once each team has played half its schedule. One feature of the league that may be unusual to North American observers is that the two halves of the season are played in the same order—that is, the order of each team's first-half fixtures is repeated in the second half of the season, with the only difference being the arenas used. This procedure is typical in Europe; it is also used by La Liga in football.
Since the first round of the second leg, if two or more teams have accumulated the same number of winning games, the criteria of tie-breaking are these:
- Head-to-head winning games.
- Head-to-head points coefficient.
- Total points coefficient.
At the final of the season:
- The regular season winner promotes directly to LEB Oro.
- Teams qualified between 2nd and 9th, will join the promotion play-offs.
- Team qualified in last position is relegated directly to Liga EBA.
