The 2014 season for the Trek Factory Racing cycling team began in January at the Tour de San Luis. As a UCI ProTeam, they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour.

On June 26, 2013, Trek Bicycle announced that it has reached an agreement with the current owner of the RadioShack team, Leopard SA, to take over its WorldTour license and ownership of the squad in 2014. ^[1]
