The 1974–75 season in the Honduran Liga Nacional was the 23rd edition of the first division in Honduran football and the 9th since the intervention of the professional league. C.D. España won its first title in a one leg final against C.D. Motagua.[1] A change of rules was established since this year; two phases were played (Regular season and Final round or Cuadrangular); the winners of each stage played in a single match[2] to decide the champion.
