It was Chelsea's first domestic cup since the 2011–12 FA Cup and Chelsea's first major trophy in two years.

Chelsea produced their worst performance of the season in arguably their most important game of the season. Ten-man PSG knocked out the Blues on away goals, and despite star forward Zlatan Ibrahimović being sent off after only 30 minutes, and Chelsea could not find a breakthrough with over 60 minutes with the man advantage. Goals from Cahill and Hazard looked to send the disappointing Blues through, but former Chelsea defender David Luiz scored in normal time and Thiago Silva scored in extra time to condemn Chelsea to defeat.

The Blues disappointing form continued as they drew 1–1 to Southampton at Stamford Bridge. Despite the draw, Chelsea extended their lead at the top to six points due to Manchester City's slip at Burnley.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31785733|last=Chowdhury|first=Saj|title=Chelsea 1–1 Southampton |date=15 March 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=15 March 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31776486|last=Emons|first=Michael|title=Burnley 1–0 Manchester City|date=14 March 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=15 March 2015}} Chelsea rounded off March with a hard-fought 3–2 win over Hull City, early goals from Costa and Hazard sent the Blues on their way before two goals in the space of a minute sent Hull City level at the break.

A 1–0 home win over Manchester United extended the Blues lead at the top of the table to ten points. Hazard notched the only goal of the game in the 38th minute, after good work from Fàbregas and Oscar.

Chelsea secured their fourth Premier League trophy and their fifth top division trophy overall, after a 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace. A Hazard goal was enough to send the Blues 16 points clear and unable to be caught. This was José Mourinho's third Premier League and eighth title overall. The title victory also put him level with Arsène Wenger in the second-most Premier League wins behind Alex Ferguson. Chelsea had spent 253 days at the top of the Premier League table to date this season, and only Chelsea in 2005–06 (257 days) and Manchester United in 1993–94 (262 days) had been at the top of the table for longer in a single campaign. Due to the Blues securing the title against Palace, Chelsea spent 274 days at the top of the table and set a new record.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32471261|last=McNulty|first=Phil|title=Chelsea 1–0 Crystal Palace|date=3 May 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32576527|last=McNulty|first=Phil|title=Premier League title a reward for risk – Jose Mourinho|date=3 May 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/32574719/chelsea-crowned-champions-their-season-in-numbers|title=Chelsea crowned champions: Their season in numbers|date=3 May 2015|publisher=BBC Newsbeat|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/313728/report|last=Hall|first=Pete|title=Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace: Eden Hazard the hero as Blues secure Premier League title with nervy win|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Sky Sports|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9835358/four-time-winner-drogba-delighted-as-chelsea-secure-title|last=Hall|first=Pete|title=Four-time winner Didier Drogba delighted as Chelsea secure title|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Sky Sports|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9835361/john-terry-revels-in-chelsea-title-win-at-stamford-bridge|last=Hall|first=Pete|title=John Terry revels in Chelsea title win at Stamford Bridge|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Sky Sports|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{deprecated inline|certain=yes|date=November 2019}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2014-15/may/030515-matchweek-35-chelsea-vs-crystal-palace-reaction.html|title=Mourinho hungry for more titles in 'most difficult league'|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Premier League|access-date=3 May 2015|archive-date=5 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505212637/http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2014-15/may/030515-matchweek-35-chelsea-vs-crystal-palace-reaction.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2014-2015/epl.html/chelsea-vs-crystal-palace|title=Chelsea v Crystal Palace Match Report|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Premier League|access-date=3 May 2015|archive-date=10 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510145040/http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2014-2015/epl.html/chelsea-vs-crystal-palace|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/05/final-whistle-verdict--what-we-deserved.html|title=Final whistle verdict: What we deserved|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Chelsea F.C.|access-date=3 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/05/match-report--chelsea-v-crystal-palace.html|title=Match report: Chelsea 1 Crystal Palace 0|date=3 May 2015|publisher=Chelsea F.C|access-date=3 May 2015}}

Terry became the first player since Gary Pallister to play in every minute of the title-winning campaign. Striker Drogba announced he was leaving the club for a second time. He left the Blues having scored a total of 164 goals in 381 appearances, and winning numerous trophies including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32865452|title=Chelsea striker carried off by team-mates |date=24 May 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=24 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/05/drogba--today_s-my-final-chelsea-game.html|title=Drogba: Today's my final Chelsea game |date=24 May 2015|publisher=Chelsea F.C.|access-date=24 May 2015}}
