The 2014 NewGP2 season is the first season of the NewGP2 Series, replacing the GP2 Series as a support series to the 2014 NewF1 Series season. Twelve teams and twenty-four drivers will contest the nineteen rounds that made up the calendar for the 2014 season, with the winning driver being crowned the NewGP2 Champion. The winning team, alongside the runners-up will be promoted to the 2015 NewF1 Series season, being replaced by the bottom two NewF1 teams. Conversely, the teams finishing in 11th and 12th will be relegated to the 2015 NewGP3 Series season, to be replaced by the winners and runners up. The season will start in Australia on 15 March 2014 and will end in Abu Dhabi on 22 November 2014.
Previous NewF1 teams Marussia and Scorpion joined the ranks for 2014, with Russian Time and Carlin promoted to the top-flight racing category.

Team Changes
The teams that finished 11th and 12th in the 2013 NewF1 season, Marussia and Scorpion were relegated with Russian Time and Carlin promoted. Spanish team Campos Racing initially were planning to enter the 2014 GP2 season, but with new regulations were forced to enter at GP3 level. EQ8 Caterham Racing were forced to cut all ties with the Caterham F1 team with affiliated teams banned, and made a stunning move by announcing they would become EQ8 Pic Life Racing Engines, not only reviving the Life team but also developing in-house engines for the 2014 season.

Changes
A large number of rule changes were introduced to bring NewGP2 into line with NewF1
- The feature and sprint rounds have been shelved for a single race of approximately 75% F1 race distance
- Teams must build their own chassis and may source engines from other suppliers, although Mecachrome have remained as an engine supplier
- Drivers are only permitted to complete one lap per qualifying session as per the NewF1 regulations
- Drivers may now be loaned to other teams, but a driver may only drive for one team per weekend
- The points system now mirrors the F1 system, with points for all drivers down to 15th place
