The 2014–15 Liga III season is the 59th season of the Liga III, the third tier of the Romanian football league system. The season began on 30 August.{{cite web|title=Liga 3|url=http://www.prosport.ro/fotbal-intern/liga-2/sezonul-2014-2015-al-ligilor-a-ii-a-si-a-iii-a-va-incepe-la-30-august-12861663|access-date=19 February 2015}}
There is a new system, with five series of 13/14 teams that will play a regular season as a round-robin tournament. At the end of the regular season, the first team from each series will promote to Liga II. The last two teams from the series with 14 teams and the last one from the series with 13 teams will relegate to Liga IV. From the 12th placed teams, another three are relegated. To determine these teams, separate standings are computed, using only the games played against clubs ranked 1st through 11th.{{cite web|title=HOTĂRÂRI ALE COMITETULUI EXECUTIV AL FEDERAȚIEI ROMÂNE DE FOTBAL|url=http://www.frf.ro/documente/comunicate/comunicate-frf/seriile-%C8%99i-sistemul-competi%C8%9Bional-al-ligilor-2-%C8%99i-3--pe-18-august-se-stabile%C8%99te-%C8%9Bintarul.html|access-date=19 February 2015|archive-date=19 February 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150219101140/http://www.frf.ro/documente/comunicate/comunicate-frf/seriile-%C8%99i-sistemul-competi%C8%9Bional-al-ligilor-2-%C8%99i-3--pe-18-august-se-stabile%C8%99te-%C8%9Bintarul.html|url-status=dead}}
