Pre-season

The first pre-season matches were announced on 9 May 2013. First to be announced would be an away game against Birmingham City on 27 July 2013. The Billy Bly Memorial Trophy match was set for 15 July 2013 at Church Road against North Ferriby United and an away match against Peterborough United was scheduled for 29 July. A fixture against Sheffield Wednesday on 20 July 2013 is to take place at Estadio Municipal de Albufeira as part of their training camp in Portugal. Three days later at the same ground a match against Portuguese side S.C. Braga will take place.

The squad reported back for pre-season training on 4 July 2013.

On 4 July 2013, a final pre-season match at the KC Stadium was announced against Spanish team Real Betis for 10 August 2013. The match would be a testimonial for Andy Dawson who would return to the club to appear in the fixture following his departure to Scunthorpe United.

On 16 July 2013, the team flew out to Portugal for a week-long pre-season training camp.

A further pre-season fixture was announced on 17 July 2013 against Dynamo Dresden on 3 August 2013 at the Glücksgas Stadium in Dresden, Germany.

The pre-season matches started on 15 July 2013 with two matches at the same time to allow for all the players to get a run-out. The first was the traditional Billy Bly Memorial Trophy match against North Ferriby United which City won 3–1. The second was against Winterton Rangers where City notched up a 6–0 victory.

In Portugal on 20 July 2013, the match against Sheffield Wednesday ended in a 0–0 draw. A further 0–0 draw against Braga on 23 July 2013 brought the Portugal training camp to a close.

Following return to England, an away match against Birmingham City on 27 July 2013 proved difficult, and Hull lost 2–1. This was followed on 29 July 2013 by another away match against Peterborough United, where Hull won 0–1.

On 2 August the team flew out to Germany for further training sessions ready for the two games there. City won the first match on 3 August 2013 against Dynamo Dresden, with Yannick Sagbo scoring the only goal of the game. The second match in Germany on 6 August 2013 against Eintracht Braunschweig ended in a 2–0 defeat.

They finished the pre-season games with a 3–0 home win against Real Betis in the Andy Dawson testimonial match.

FA Cup

Hull City enter the competition at the third round proper stage with matches taking place in early January 2014. The draw for the third round took place on 8 December 2013 and Hull were drawn away to Football League Championship side Middlesbrough. The match took place on 4 January 2014 at the Riverside Stadium and Hull won the match 2–0 with goals by Aaron McLean and Nick Proschwitz. The draw for the fourth round took place on 5 January 2014 and Hull were drawn away to League Two team Southend United to face former manager Phil Brown for the first time since he left the club. The match took place on 25 January 2014 at Roots Hall with City leaving it until the second half to break the deadlock when Matty Fryatt scored both goals to take the visitors into the next round. The draw for the fifth round took place on 26 January 2014 and Hull were drawn away to Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion. The match was selected for live TV coverage by BT Sport and set to take place on 17 February 2014. The draw for the quarter-finals took place on 16 February and if Hull beat Brighton & Hove Albion they were drawn at home to Sunderland with match taking place on 8 or 9 March 2014. The fifth-round match took place at the Falmer Stadium on 17 February 2014 with Brighton & Hove taking the lead through a Leonardo Ulloa goal in the first half. The visitors levelled the game after 85 minutes when Yannick Sagbo hit the target. The score remained at 1–1 and a replay would be required to see who progressed. The replay was scheduled to take place on 24 February 2014 to avoid clashes with UEFA Champions League matches, which both managers criticised, as it is just 48-hours after important league matches for both teams. Hull started the replay with first-half goals by Sone Aluko and Robert Koren, with Leonardo Ulloa scoring a second-half goal for Brighton. Hull went through to the next round with a 2–1 win in the replay. The next-round match was selected for televising by ITV and was set to take place on Sunday 9 March. The match took place in bright sunshine at the KC Stadium and both teams struggled in the first half to make any impact. A penalty was conceded by Sebastian Larsson of Sunderland but Sone Aluko's shot was saved by Oscar Ustari, leaving the match goalless at half-time. In the second-half Hull took the match with three goals in ten minutes by Curtis Davies, David Meyler and Matty Fryatt.

The draw for the semi-final took place immediately after the conclusion of the match and Hull were drawn first and paired with local Yorkshire side Sheffield United. Matches to take place over the weekend of 12 and 13 April 2014 at Wembley Stadium. Hull's match was subsequently set for 13 April at 16:00. Though the kick-off time was later revised to 16:07 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. On 2 April Andre Marriner was announced as the match referee.

In the semi-final match Sheffield United started the better of the teams and took the lead with a Jose Baxter goal. Hull levelled the score just before half-time through Yannick Sagbo, but Sheffield were quickly back in front when Stefan Scougall struck to leave city 2–1 behind at the break. City made two changes at half-time bringing on Matty Fryatt, for George Boyd, and Sone Aluko, for Maynor Figueroa. Matty Fryatt made an instant impact scoring the next goal with Tom Huddlestone and Stephen Quinn giving city the lead. Jamie Murphy pegged one back for Sheffield at the end of normal time but city sealed it with a David Meyler goal in added time. Giving Hull a 5–3 win and a first appearance in an FA Cup Final in their history.

The final against Arsenal took place at Wembley Stadium on 17 May 2014 with a kick-off time of 17:00, exactly the same time as the Magic Weekend rugby league match between Hull F.C. and Hull Kingston Rovers. The match referee was Lee Probert. In bright sunshine Hull took an early lead through James Chester and followed it by captain Curtis Davies netting after 8 minutes. Arsenal pulled one back through Santi Cazorla but it took until the second half for Arsenal to level through Laurent Koscielny. The game went to extra-time and the only goal came in the second-half through Aaron Ramsey giving Arsenal a 3–2 victory.
