The 2014–15 season is the 113th season of football for Norwich City Football Club. It is their first season in the Football League Championship since their relegation from the Premier league in the 2013–14 season. It was manager Neil Adams' first full season in charge, until he was replaced by Alex Neil in January 2015. They started the League Cup in the second round and exited in the third round following a defeat at League Two side Shrewsbury Town, and were also eliminated in the FA Cup Third Round, following a defeat by Preston North End. They were promoted back to the Premier League after defeating Middlesbrough F.C. 2-0 in the Playoff final.

Finishing eighteenth in the Premier League the previous season resulted in relegation to the Championship. The Norwich City board announced shortly after relegation was confirmed on 11 May 2014 that a new manager would be announced within the week. On 22 May 2014 Neil Adams was named as the permanent manager despite the relegation from this season and four defeats in five matches as caretaker manager. The upheaval at the club was not limited to change in the management team with a number of first team players being linked to moves away from Carrow Road including Robert Snodgrass, Gary Hooper and John Ruddy. Chairman Alan Bowkett responded to the reports by stating that the club would be under no pressure to sell players during the transfer window.

On 2 June 2014 Norwich named under-21 coach Mark Robson and former player Gary Holt first team coaches. They also named former player and Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle as football consultant who left the club before the season started.

Norwich went into the season as one of the favourites for promotion with odds of 3/1 for promotion and 10/1 for winning the championship title.

Players David Fox and Carlo Nash were allowed to leave following the end of their contracts while Johan Elmander, Joseph Yobo and Jonás Gutiérrez all returned to their parent clubs following the end of their loan periods. The first major departure following Norwich's relegation was the sale of Scotland international Robert Snodgrass to Hull for a fee reported to be in the region of £7,000,000 on 30 June 2014. Anthony Pilkington was the next to leave, joining promotion rivals Cardiff City for a reported fee of £1,000,000 on 15 August. Newly promoted Queens Park Rangers completed the transfer of Leroy Fer for a reported fee of £8,000,000 on 20 August. Transfer deadline day saw midfielder Andrew Surman return to Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.
