The 2013–2014 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship was the second running of the MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship. The series consisted of 13 races, spread across 4 meetings began on 26 October 2013 at the Buddh International Circuit, supporting the 2013 Indian Grand Prix and ended on 16 February 2014.

Rupert Svendsen-Cook claimed the championship title,[1] after successfully appealing a penalty that was given to him, at the final round of the season at the Madras Motor Racing Track. Svendsen-Cook had been given a 30-second penalty for pushing Tio Ellinas off the track,[2] which had allowed Ellinas to provisionally claim the championship title.[3] This penalty was overturned in March, allowing Svendsen-Cook's advantage of two points to stand.[1]
