Like before, the season was divided into three periods. The first ten matchdays together form the first period, matchdays 11 to 22 form period two and the last 12 form period three. The three period winners take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs together with the winner of the 2014–15 Belgian Pro League relegation playoff. The winner of this final round gets to play in the 2015–16 Belgian Pro League.
During the tenth matchday on 5 October 2014, Oud-Heverlee Leuven won the first period and thereby was the first to qualify for the final round. They were joined by Sint-Truiden, who clinched the second period during matchday 21 on 21 December 2014, by obtaining a five-point lead with only one match to go. Lommel United clinched the third period title on the final matchday, as they lost to Sint-Truiden but Eupen came three goals short of overtaking them on goal difference. Eupen did however get to take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs as Sint-Truiden were already promoted by virtue of winning the title.
