The closing season was expected to commence on 22 February 2014, however this was delayed due to concerns from the 7 teams.[22] The league was subsequently handed over to the Football Federation of Belize, and a caretaker committee was put in place to administrate the closing season.[23] The season commenced on 8 March 2014.[24]
