Location of teams in 2014–15 Azerbaijan Premier League

Ravan Baku were relegated to Azerbaijan First Division.

The format of the league did not change as a total of 10 teams contested the league, with the last club relegated and Araz-Naxçıvan promoted from the First Division.[2] The competition format follows the usual double round-robin format. During the course of a season, which lasts from August to May, each club plays every other club four times, twice at home and twice away, for a total of 36 games.[3]

On 3 November 2014, the Araz-Naxçıvan announced their withdrawal from the league due constant biased referee decisions, which meant that all of their results were annulled.[4][5]
