The 2014–15 Promotion League season is the third season of this league which had previously been called 1. Liga Promotion prior to this season but now underwent a name change.[1] The Promotion League is the third highest level in the Swiss football league system, behind the Super League and the Challenge League.

The season started in August 2014 and was concluded in 28 May 2015. The league was won by Neuchâtel Xamax who was promoted to the Challenge League while FC Locarno and SR Delémont were relegated to the 1. Liga Classic.[2]

Teams

[edit]

In the previous season FC Le Mont had been division champions and were promoted to the 2014–15 Challenge League. SC Kriens and AC Bellinzona had ended the season in the two last positions and were therefore relegated. Thus the 2014–15 season saw three new clubs join the division, FC Rapperswil-Jona and Neuchâtel Xamax, had both been promoted from the 1. Liga Classic, while FC Locarno had suffered relegation from the Challenge League.
