The 2014–15 season is the 109th season in the Football League and 116th season overall of association football played by Derby County F.C., an English football club based in Derby, Derbyshire. Their third-place finish in the 2013–14 season and losing out to Queens Park Rangers in the play-off final means it is their seventh consecutive season in the Championship, and it is their 47th season overall in the second division of English football. It will be Steve McClaren's first full season as head coach of the team.
