The 2014–15 A-League was the 38th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the 10th season of the A-League since its establishment in 2004. Brisbane Roar were both the defending A-League Premiers and Champions. The regular season commenced on 10 October 2014 and concluded on 26 April 2015. The 2015 Grand Final took place on 17 May 2015. The season was suspended from 9–24 January in order to avoid a clash with the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, which was hosted by Australia.{{cite web|title=Season 2014/15 Hyundai A-League draw revealed|url=http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/season-2014/15-hyundai-a-league-draw-revealed/90818|publisher=footballaustralia.com.au|access-date=12 June 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017213740/http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/season-2014/15-hyundai-a-league-draw-revealed/90818|archive-date=17 October 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}
