Matches

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]
