The 2014–15 season was the 132nd season in Bristol Rovers' history and first in the Conference Premier, the fifth tier of English football, following their relegation from Football League Two on the final day of the previous season.
During the course of the season, they met A.F.C. Telford United, Alfreton Town, Altrincham, Braintree Town, Chester, Dover Athletic, Eastleigh, F.C. Halifax Town, Forest Green Rovers, Gateshead, Nuneaton Town and Woking for the first time in a competitive fixture. They also played Southport for the first time since 1974 and Welling United for the first time since their only meeting in 1999. Rovers' first ever appearance in the FA Trophy saw them play former landlords Bath City for the first time in a competitive fixture since 1995. As well as this, they played their first game at Barnet's Hive Stadium.
Rovers' season came to a triumphant end at Wembley Stadium as they defeated Grimsby Town 5–3 on penalties in the play-off Final, in the process becoming the first side since Carlisle United in 2005 to secure an immediate return to the Football League. Rovers' regular season saw them come agonisingly close to winning automatic promotion, ending the season just one point short of champions Barnet.
