The 2014–15 season was Maribor's 55th season of football and its 24th consecutive season in the Slovenian PrvaLiga, Slovenian top division, since the league was created in 1991 with Maribor as one of the league's founding members.

After the successful 2013–14 season where Maribor won the PrvaLiga and Supercup titles, the club continued with their dominance in domestic competitions during the 2014–15 season and has managed to add another two titles among club honours; they have won their 13th League and their fourth Supercup title. Unlike the previous season when they were runners-up in the Slovenian Football Cup, this season Maribor was knocked out from the competition one round earlier when Celje defeated them 3–2 on aggregate during the semi-final of the 2014–15 Slovenian Football Cup. The club did particularly well in the UEFA competitions where they went undefeated during six matches of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign and, for the first time in 15 years, have managed to secure a spot among the elite 32 clubs in the competition proper. There the club was drawn into a group with Chelsea, Schalke and Sporting, and has managed to draw each of them once, winning a total of three points in the process. For manager Ante Šimundža this was the second time he had a taste of the elite competition with Maribor, as he was the club's player during their 1999–2000 campaign.

Team captain Marcos Tavares was the club's top scorer during the season with 19 goals, 17 of which were scored in the Slovenian PrvaLiga where he was crowned the league's top scorer for the third time. The Brazilian made history in late August 2014 when he scored the winning goal during the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off round against Celtic. He has also entered a small group of six players who have scored more than 100 goals in the PrvaLiga. By the end of the 2014–15 season Tavares has netted 102 goals in 240 PrvaLiga appearances. During the course of the season Maribor maintained an average league attendance of 4,406 on its home matches. This was the first time in almost two decades that the club's home average league attendance exceeded 4,000 spectators per match. The club's total home average attendance was 5,552.

Notes
  1. ^ The match between Olimpija and Maribor was originally scheduled on 2 August 2014, but was postponed and rescheduled to a later date, on the request of Olimpija which argued that, due to the summer holliday season, a match at a later date would attract more fans to the stands.[1][2][3]
  2. ^ The second part of the season was scheduled to begin on 21 February 2015, however, the Football Association of Slovenia have postponed all matches of the 21st round due to "poor weather conditions".[4] The round was rescheduled to 4 March 2015.[4]
