The 2013–14 Svenska Cupen is the 58th season of Svenska Cupen and the second season with the current layout.

A total of 96 clubs entered the competition.[2][3] The first round commenced on 21 May 2013 and the final is scheduled to be contested on 18 May 2014, As of December 2013 it is still unknown if the final will return to Friends Arena in Solna or if the previous policy with the final being played at one of the finalists stadiums will return.[4] The winners of the competition will earn a place in the second qualifying round of the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League, if they have not already qualified for European competition; if so then the runners-up will instead qualify for the first qualifying round of the competition and the team having finished third in the 2014 Allsvenskan will enter the second qualifying round instead of the first qualifying round and their respective berth will be passed down to the fourth team in the league. IFK Göteborg are the defending champions, having beaten Djurgårdens IF 3–1 on penalties after the match had finished 1–1 after extra time in last season's final.

Qualifying rounds

The only three associations of the Swedish District Football Associations that had a qualifying round were Dalarnas FF, Hälsinglands FF and Örebro Läns FF, the other ones decided their teams in other ways.

Round 1

64 teams from the third tier or lower of the Swedish league system competed in this round. The round started on 21 May and finished on 4 August 2013.[3] The number in brackets, indicate what tier of Swedish football each team competed in for the 2013 season. Bunkeflo FF was the lowest-ranked team in this round, competing in the 7th tier.

Round 2

All teams from 2013 Allsvenskan and 2013 Superettan entered this round, 32 teams in total, where they were joined by the 32 winners from round 1. The 32 teams from Allsvenskan and Superettan were seeded and played against the 32 winners from round 1, the matches were played at the home venues for the unseeded teams.[3] Ullareds IK was the lowest-ranked team in this round, competing in the 6th tier.

Group stage

The 32 winners from round 2 were divided into eight groups of four teams. The 16 highest ranked winners from the previous rounds were seeded to the top two positions in each groups and the 16 remaining winners were unseeded in the draw. The ranking of the 16 seeded teams was decided by league position in the 2013 season. All teams in the group will play each other once, the highest ranked teams from the previous rounds and eventual lower tier teams have the right to play two home matches. The draw for the group stage was held on 13 November 2013.[5] The group stage will be played in March 2014.[3]
