The 2014 Conference USA Football Championship Game, held on December 6 of that year at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia, determined the 2014 football champion of Conference USA (C-USA), on December 6. The game featured the Marshall Thundering Herd, winners of the conference's East Division, hosting the West Division champion Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

Under C-USA rules, the championship game would be played at the home stadium of the team with the best record in conference play.

In the 2013 Championship Game Rice defeated Marshall, 41–24 in Houston, Texas.[1]

After the 2014 Conference USA realignment, C-USA added two new members[2] for the 2014 season after losing three members, including East Carolina, to the American Athletic Conference.[3][4]

After the 2014 season, this was the tenth C-USA championship game, and was played in West Virginia for the first time.
