The 2014 Sioux Falls Storm season was the team's fifteenth season as a professional indoor football franchise and sixth in the Indoor Football League (IFL). One of nine teams that competed in the IFL for the 2014 season, the Sioux Falls Storm were members of the United Conference.

Led by head coach Kurtiss Riggs, the Storm played their home games at the Sioux Falls Arena in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Sioux Falls entered the 2014 season following consecutive wins in the league's "United Bowl" championship game in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Off-field moves

In mid-April 2014, the team announced that this season would be its last at the aging Sioux Falls Arena. In 2015, the Storm will follow the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League to the newly constructed Denny Sanford Premier Center.

Roster moves

Quarterback Chris Dixon, a three-time IFL MVP, returned to the Storm after one season in the Arena Football League. Dixon previously led the Storm to the IFL championship in 2011 and 2012.
