2013–14 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer

2013–14 US Open Arena Soccer Championship
Country United States
Dates October 2013–March 2014
Champions Chicago Mustangs

The 2013–14 US Open Arena Soccer Championship is the sixth edition of an open knockout style tournament for arena/indoor soccer. In this edition, teams from the Professional Arena Soccer League, Premier Arena Soccer League, and other independent indoor soccer teams are participating in the single elimination tournament.

Unlike a traditional tournament where many teams will gather at a single site to play a series of matches in a short period of time, the US Open Arena Soccer Championship incorporates a series of qualifying tournaments, special matches, and the regular season meetings of teams in the Professional Arena Soccer League over a series of months to fill out then complete the tournament bracket. This non-linear format is how, for example, the Cleveland Freeze advanced to the Semi-finals before the Tulsa Revolution played its weather-delayed Round of 32 match.

After a three-year run by the San Diego Sockers, the 2012–13 Open Cup was won by the Detroit Waza.[1] This year, Detroit was knocked out in its first Open Cup match by the Harrisburg Heat.
