A total of 1,575,581 spectators attended the 337 games. The number translates into an average attendance of 4,675 and represents an increase of 5.4% in comparison to the previous season. The arenas were filled to 89.2% of their capacities, which is an increase of 3.6% from '12-13. It is the "12th consecutive attendance record for the league since the '01-02 season." The 31 playoff games alone attracted 200,402 spectators. BBL CEO Jan Pommer said, "Due to the dedicated and excellent work of each individual club, we have solidified the second spot in Europe."
