The 2014–15 Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) season marked the seventh season for the league and the first since six teams from the former Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) left to join what was then called the Professional Arena Soccer League. The regular season began on October 25, 2014, and concluded on March 1, 2015, with each team playing a 20-game schedule. This season also represented the 37th year of professional Division 1 indoor soccer in the United States and the inaugural season for MASL as the top-tier league.

Several teams dropped out mid-season:† San Antonio on December 23, 2014, and†† Tulsa on January 15, 2015. Tacoma replaced Tulsa in the schedule. The league's championship was determined through a playoff structure. In the Eastern Conference, the playoffs featured home-and-home series between teams, with a mini game played if the series was split. The Western Conference used single-elimination playoffs.

Monterrey claimed both the Western Conference Championship and the Ron Newman Cup, defeating Rochester in the final two games to one. The season saw changes in standings, with some teams advancing to playoffs and others dropping out mid-season.
