The2014–15 UEFA Europa League was the 44th season ofEurope's secondary clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA, and the sixth season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to theUEFA Europa League.
Thefinal was played at theNational Stadium inWarsaw, Poland,[1] with Spanish side and title holdersSevilla defeating Ukrainian sideDnipro Dnipropetrovsk 3–2 to win a record-breaking fourth title.[2]
This season was the first where clubs must comply withUEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations in order to participate.[3] Moreover, this season was the first where a club fromGibraltar competed in the tournament, after theGibraltar Football Association was accepted as the 54th UEFA member at theUEFA Congress in May 2013.[4] They were granted one spot in the Europa League,[5] which was taken byCollege Europa, the runners-up of the2014 Rock Cup.
Starting from this edition, the UEFA Europa League winners automatically qualify for the subsequentUEFA Champions League season even if they do not qualify for the Champions League through their domestic performance.[6] Therefore, the winners of this tournament qualify for the2015–16 UEFA Champions League. They are guaranteed to enter at least the play-off round, and since the group stage berth reserved for the Champions League title holders will not be used (the winners of the2014–15 UEFA Champions League are guaranteed to qualify for the group stage through domestic performance), they will be elevated to enter the group stage via this berth.[7]
On 17 July 2014, the UEFA emergency panel ruled that Ukrainian and Russian clubs would not be drawn against each other "until further notice" due to thepolitical unrest between the countries.[8] Another ruling centred in regional instability was also made where Israeli teams were prohibited from hosting any UEFA competitions due to the2014 Israel–Gaza conflict (whilst the ruling ended a short time after the war, all the country's sides were eliminated before it ended).[9] The rules regarding suspension due to yellow card accumulation were also changed such that all bookings expired on completion of the quarter-finals and were not carried forward to the semi-finals.[10] Moreover, this was the first season in whichvanishing spray was used.[11]
A total of 195 teams from all 54UEFA member associations participate in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on theUEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[12]
The winners of the2013–14 UEFA Europa League are given an additional entry as title holders if they do not qualify for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League or Europa League through their domestic performance. However, this additional entry is not necessary for this season since the title holders qualified for European competitions through their domestic performance.
For the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2013UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2008–09 to 2012–13.[13][14]
Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Europa League, as noted below:

Since title holdersSevilla qualified for the Europa League through their domestic performance, the spot which they qualified for in the group stage (as the fifth-placed team of the2013–14 La Liga) is vacated, and the following changes to the default allocation system were made:[16][17][18]
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | Teams transferred from Champions League | |
|---|---|---|---|
| First qualifying round (78 teams) |
| ||
| Second qualifying round (80 teams) |
|
| |
| Third qualifying round (58 teams) |
|
| |
| Play-off round (62 teams) |
|
|
|
| Group stage (48 teams) |
|
|
|
| Knockout phase (32 teams) |

A Europa League place is vacated when a team qualifies for both the Champions League and the Europa League, or qualifies for the Europa League by more than one method. When a place is vacated, it is redistributed within the national association by the following rules:[12]
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:[19][20][21]
Notably three teams take part in the competition that do not currently play in their national top-division. They areSantos Tartu (3rd tier),St. Pölten (2nd) andTromsø (2nd).
