The 2013–14 season was Shrewsbury's second consecutive season back in League One after achieving a 16th-placed finish the previous season. Veteran manager Graham Turner resigned following six consecutive home defeats in January 2014, and was replaced by former player and coach Michael Jackson who could not prevent subsequent relegation to League Two.
The club also participated in the League Cup, the Football League Trophy, and the FA Cup, exiting each competition at the first-round stage.
