The 2014–15 Ukrainian Premier League season was the 24th since its establishment. The competition commenced on 25 July when Metalurh Donetsk hosted Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in Lviv.{{cite web|url=http://www.fpl.ua/ukr/news/news_fpl/5694/|script-title=uk:Формат і календар наступного Чемпіонату ПЛ|trans-title=Format and calendar of the next PFL Championship|publisher =Ukrainian Premier League| access-date=11 July 2014|date=11 July 2014|language=uk}} Due to the war in Donbas, the league reduced the number of teams.
Format
Initially, a new format was proposed to be introduced for this season by FC Shakhtar Donetsk. The first stage was to be a regular round robin of home/away format. In the second stage the championship was to have an additional play-off format where participants, upon completion of the regular round robin, were to be split into three groups of 4 (1–4 places), 4 (5–8 places) and 6 (9–14 places) teams. The points earned in the first stage were to be preserved. The first two groups of four teams would each have a regular round robin home/away format, while the third group of six was to play each other only once.
However, on 22 July 2014, it was confirmed that the championship would be played using a standard double round-robin tournament system. The last team would be relegated and would be replaced by the champion of the 2014–15 Ukrainian First League.{{cite web|url=http://uafootball.segodnya.ua/chua_news/538915.html|script-title=ru:Чемпионат Украины пройдет в старом формате – официально|date=22 July 2014|access-date=22 July 2014|trans-title=Championship of Ukraine will be held in the old format|work=segodnya.ua|language=ru|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728184141/http://uafootball.segodnya.ua/chua_news/538915.html|archive-date=28 July 2014|url-status=dead}}
Teams
Initially, a total of 16 teams were expected to participate in the league, the best 14 sides of the 2013–14 season and two promoted clubs from the 2013–14 Ukrainian First League. The fifteenth-placed team of the 2013–14 Ukrainian Premier League, Tavriya Simferopol was relegated to the 2014–15 Ukrainian First League at the end of the season. A second team was to be relegated but with the withdrawal of Arsenal Kyiv during the 2013–14 Ukrainian Premier League season only one team was relegated.
Teams from Crimea, namely Sevastopol and Tavriya Simferopol, will not participate in the Ukrainian competition since they ceased their existences and applied (under new names) for a Russian license after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.sport-express.ua/football/ukraina/news/263631-tavrija-i-sevastopol-prekratili-svoe-suschestvovanie.html|script-title=ru:"Таврия" и "Севастополь" прекратили свое существование|trans-title="Tavriya" & "Sevastopol" terminated their existence|date=3 June 2014|access-date=3 June 2014|work=Sport Express (Ukraine)|language=ru|archive-date=12 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150512010257/http://www.sport-express.ua/football/ukraina/news/263631-tavrija-i-sevastopol-prekratili-svoe-suschestvovanie.html|url-status=dead}}
The relegated team and the vacant position were to be replaced by the champions of the 2013–14 Ukrainian First League, FC Olimpik Donetsk, and the runners-up, PFC Oleksandriya. But PFC Oleksandriya refused the promotion to the Premier League and merged with FC UkrAhroKom Holovkivka.{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/first/538ae9e9.html |script-title=ru:Александрия откажется от выхода в УПЛ и объединится с УкрАгроКомом|date=31 May 2014|access-date=31 May 2014|work=ua-football.com|language=ru}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/first/53aacf8b.html|script-title=uk:Буковина отримала атестат на право участі в Першій лізі, рішення по Ниві приймуть 4 липня|trans-title=Bukovina received a attestation for participation in the First League, the decision to accept the Nyva is on July 4|publisher =ua-football.com| work=Football Federation of Ukraine| access-date=25 June 2014|date=25 June 2014|language=uk}}

Qualification to European competitions for 2015–16
- Since Ukraine finished in ninth place of the UEFA country ranking after the 2013–14 season,{{cite web|url=http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2014.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2014|last=Kassies|first=Bert|access-date=26 April 2015}} the league should have received the same number of qualifiers for 2015–16 UEFA Europa League. However, due to the recent format change, Ukraine will have only three teams entering the UEFA Europa League. The Ukrainian Cup winner qualifies for the Group stage.
