The 2014 Battleground was the second annual Battleground professional wrestling pay-per-view and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It took place on July 20, 2014, at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Tampa, Florida, and was the first Battleground event to air on the WWE Network, which launched in February. It was the last WWE pay-per-view event to incorporate the WWE scratch logo, as the following month, WWE rebranded and began using the logo that was originally used for the WWE Network.

Eleven matches were contested at the event, with two being shown on the Kickoff pre-show. The main event saw Daniel Bryan defeat Randy Orton and John Cena in a triple threat match to retain the WWE Championship. The event received 114,000 buys, (excluding WWE Network views), slightly up from the previous year's 99,000 buys.
