The 50-game regular season schedule consists of 24 home and 24 road games, with two mid-January matchups at the annual NBA D-League Showcase, which makes its return to Reno, Nevada for the third straight year (matchups to be announced at a later date).

East Division opponents account for 32 games on the schedule, while the Charge have 11 games against Central Division opponents and five against the West.

Canton's longest home stand of 2013-14 will be a five game set from March 8th-15th. Their longest stint away from home is a six-game trip from January 2nd-19th, not including their two Showcase games which will also take place during that stretch. The Charge will play 17 back-to-back game sets, with six at home, seven on the road and four split.
