The 2014 Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol de la Serie A (officially known as the Copa Pilsener Serie A for sponsorship reasons) was the 56th season of the Serie A, Ecuador's premier football league.
Emelec successfully defended their title for their 12th overall.
The format for the season was played as in 2013 with the exception that the runner-up would not qualify to the Copa Sudamericana.[1]
Twelve teams competed in the 2014 Serie A season, ten of which remained from the previous season. Deportivo Quevedo and Macará were relegated to the Serie B after accumulating the fewest points in the 2013 season aggregate table.
