The 2014–15 Polska Hokej Liga season was the 80th season of the Polska Hokej Liga, the top level of ice hockey in Poland. Ten teams participated in the league: Orlik Opole and Naprzód Janów moved up from the 1. Liga while KTH Krynica did not play in the PHL as they did not obtain a license, which allowed Podhale Nowy Targ to stay in the PHL.

The regular season format was changed from the previous season. After 36 matches, GKS Tychy led the league with 82 points. Then the league has been divided into two groups for the Second Round: Group A, consisting of the top 6 teams competing against each other; and Group B, consisting of the bottom 4 teams competing.

In the stronger group (Group A), JKH GKS Jastrzębie finished in first place at the end of the season, and from the weaker group (Group B), Orlik Opole and Naprzód Janów advanced to the playoff round. GKS Tychy won the playoff championship, the second championship in the club's history. GKS Katowice was relegated to the 1. Liga at the end of the season.
