The 2014 season was Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama's 116th year in existence, the club's 99th season in existence of football, and the club's 2nd season playing in the Brasileirão Série B, the second tier of Brazilian football.
After finishing the 2013 season in 5th place in Brasileirão Série A, Vasco da Gama suffered its second relegation in five years on an administration of, until then, the greatest idol of the club, Roberto Dinamite. Vasco da Gama aimed to return to the top division and win its 2nd title of the Brazilian Série B. The club was also competing the 2014 Copa do Brasil, a competition which it won in 2011.
