The 2014 Cedar Rapids Titans season was the third season of the Cedar Rapids Titans as a professional indoor football franchise in the Indoor Football League (IFL). One of nine teams competing in the IFL for the 2014 season, the Cedar Rapids Titans were members of the league's United Conference.

The Titans played their home games at the U.S. Cellular Center in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The team is led by head coach Mark Stoute, the 2013 Indoor Football League Coach of the Year. The Titans Dolls dance squad is led by dance team director Lindsay Wray.

Off-field moves

After playing its first two seasons in the 4,000 seat Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, the team made a twice-delayed move to the newly renovated 6,900-seat U.S. Cellular Center in downtown Cedar Rapids for its home games. The team also changed practice facilities for the 2014 season, moving from SportZone in Hiawatha to the Game Winning Entertainment Sports Center in northeast Cedar Rapids.

The coaching staff for 2014 includes head coach Mark Stoute (the 2013 Indoor Football League Coach of the Year) and initially included assistant coaches Sean Ponder, Michael Custer, Derrick Reaves, and Ed Flanagan.
