The '''fourteenth season''' of the American animated television series {{SBSP}}, created by former marine biologist and animator [[Stephen Hillenburg]], was announced on {{Time|March 24}}, {{Time|2022}} during [[Nickelodeon]]'s upfront that year.<ref> [https://deadline.com/2022/03/spongebob-squarepants-paw-patrol-blues-clues-you-renewed-nickelodeon-1234986103/ 'SpongeBob SquarePants', 'PAW Patrol,' 'Blue's Clues & You!' Renewed By Nickelodeon - ''Deadline'']</ref><ref>[https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/paramount-nickelodeon-paw-patrol-the-movie-sequel-paw-patrol-spinoff-series-rubble/ Paramount Announces PAW Patrol Season 10, Movie Sequel and Rubble Spinoff Series - COMICBOOK]</ref>

It was originally confirmed that this season would consist of 26 half-hour episodes. However, on {{Time|September 11}}, {{Time|2024}}, it was revealed that the second half of the season would be split off into [[season 15]], thus being shortened to only 13 half-hour episodes. Despite the split, it still brought the total number of episodes up to 306, passing the 300-episode milestone.

Season 14 premiered on {{Time|November 2}}, {{Time|2023}} with "[[Single-Celled Defense]]" and ended on {{Time|December 2}}, 2024 with "[[Sandy's Country Christmas]]."

The season was released on [[The Complete Fourteenth Season|DVD]] on {{Time|November 19}}, 2024, 13 days before it completed its broadcast on television, and was later released on [[Paramount+]] on {{Time|June 4}}, {{Time|2025}}, 6 months and 2 days after it completed its broadcast on television.

==Production==
This season is known to have been in production as early as November 2022.<ref>[https://www.nickalive.net/2022/11/spongebob-exec-producers-tease.html 'SpongeBob' Exec. Producers Tease SpongeBob's 25th Anniversary Celebrations in 2024 - NickALive!]</ref> At that time, things for the [[SpongeBob 25|25th anniversary]] and "[[Squidiot Box]]" were being made.

On {{Time|August 3}}, 2023, [[Leo Laifa]] confirmed that they had officially joined the series' crew as a storyboard artist on that day.<ref>[https://twitter.com/laifa_l/status/1687197226010038274 Leo Laifa on Twitter - "guess what show..."]</ref> The first episode they would provide storyboard plussing on was "[[Sheldon SquarePants]]."

On March 18, 2024,<ref>https://x.com/ArtofSpongebob/status/1769942059270447498</ref> [[Rough Draft Studios|Rough Draft Korea]] published an article on their company website about their animation process.<ref>[https://www.rdkorea.co.kr/itc/production/process?parentId=14&menuId=23 라프드래프트코리아]</ref> Within the article were images of a layout drawing from "Sheldon SquarePants," a digital camera composite from "[[Momageddon]]," and a final animation check for "[[PL-1413]]."

In March and April of 2024, [[Brandon Warren]] provided storyboard plussing for "[[Firehouse Bob]]" and "[[Delivery of Doom]]."<ref>https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-warren-49986a18</ref>

On September 11, 2024, it was revealed that the second half of season 14 would be split off into season 15, thus shortening the season to only 13 half-hour episodes. The reason for the split was "to keep sizes more consistent with the season lengths currently consumed on streaming services where all shows ultimately get added," according to Nickelodeon.<ref>[http://www.nickalive.net/2024/10/the-patrick-star-show-renewed-for.html 'The Patrick Star Show' Renewed for Seasons 4 & 5 By Nickelodeon | NYCC 2024 - NickALive!]</ref>

==Trivia==
*This season made ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' become the longest-running American animated children's television series, beating ''{{W|Arthur (TV series)|Arthur}}''. It beat the record of ''Arthur'' after 25 years, 4 months, and 14 days on the air on {{Time|May 1}}, 2024. This may be ironic as the latter ended its run in {{Time|February 21}}, {{Time|2022}} with 253 episodes.
*This season brought the number of episodes up to 306, being the first show in Nickelodeon history to surpass the 300-episode milestone.<ref>[https://www.adweek.com/convergent-tv/nickelodeon-franchise-expansion-upfront/ Nickelodeon Focuses on Franchise Expansion in Upfront In-Person Return - Adweek]</ref>
*"Squidiot Box," "Blood is Thicker Than Grease," "PL-1413," "[[In the Mood to Feud]]," "[[Mooned!]]," "[[Hysterical History]]," "[[Kreepaway Kamp]]," "Snow Yellow," and "Sandy's Country Christmas" serve as the 25th anniversary special episodes.<ref>[[:File:295-98.jpeg]]</ref><ref name="299-300">[[:File:299-300.jpeg]]</ref>
**However, "Squidiot Box" and "Blood is Thicker Than Grease" seem to serve as standalone episodes.
*This is the first season for multiple things:
**The first season since [[season 4]] to premiere after the previous season ended.
**The first season of the main show in which SpongeBob does not appear in all episodes, starting with "[[BassWard]]."
**The first season since [[season 2]] to have episodes premiere on the Nicktoons channel.
**The first season to have at least one [[Don't Make Me Laugh|unannounced]] and one [[Blood is Thicker Than Grease|accidental]] premiere.
**The first season since [[season 8]] to end with a special in packaging order.
**The first season since [[season 11]] to end with a special in airing order.
**The first season in the main series to not mention the season number in visual promotional materials.
**The first season in the main series to have 13 episodes; this would be the standard number of episodes from this season onward.
**The first season since [[season 10]] to have less than 20 or 26 episodes.
**The first season since [[season 9]] to not contain extended episodes paired with shorts.
**The first season to not play "[[House Of Horror|House of Horror]]", "[[You're Nice]]", "[[Frankenstein's Niece]]", "[[Slide Whistle Stooges (track)|Slide Whistle Stooges]]", "[[Daily Chores Jig]]", "[[On The Beach|On the Beach]]", "[[Coconut Cream Pie]]", "[[Horlepiep]]", "[[Zelle]]", "[[Aloha Lui Lui]]", "[[African Savanna]]", "[[Acrobats and Clowns A]]", "[[Adventure]]" or "[[All Cars and Thames!|All Cars and Thames]]". (Since their introductions in their respective seasons)
**The first season since season 11 in which [[Nicolas Carr]] has been music editor for every episode.
**The first season in which [[Shelley]] does not appear.
**The first season in the main series to have [[Mike Bell]] as a writer since season 4, although he also previously worked on {{KKSUY}}. 
**The first and only time that Bobby Gaylor worked as a freelance writer for the show, since he previously worked on ''Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years''.
**The first season to not contain a Boating School episode.
*In terms of segment count, this is the shortest season of the series to date, at only 21.
**However, season 10 is technically shorter since it consists of 11 half-hour episodes, whereas season 14 has 13 half-hours.
*"[[Buff for Puff]]" is the only [[Ian Vazquez]] episode segment in this season to credit the animation director.
[[File:Kreepaway Kamp 800.png|thumb|260px|Bennett's dedication after the end of "Kreepaway Kamp."]]
*This is the final production season that longtime crew member [[Peter Bennett]] worked on as an art director before his passing on {{Time|May 17}}, 2024. The episode "Kreepaway Kamp" from this season is dedicated in his memory. However, this dedication card to Peter Bennett at the end of "Kreepaway Kamp" is not on any DVD releases<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbl7GGtTO-Q</ref> because this episode was completed in early 2024 before he passed away.
*Despite this season getting split into season 15, episodes in both seasons still count as episodes in the fourteenth production season.<ref>https://x.com/KeydalisColo/status/1835353961097740545</ref>
*This is the fourth season to be released on DVD before completing its broadcast on television, after seasons 4, 5, and 12.
*This is the fourth season to end with a Sandy-themed episode. The first was in season 2's "[[Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm]]," the second was [[season 7]]'s "[[Perfect Chemistry]]," and the third was [[season 13]]'s "[[Sandy, Help Us!]]."
