The 2014–15 season was West Bromwich Albion's fifth consecutive season in the Premier League, their ninth in total. During the season, they also competed in the FA Cup. West Brom were knocked out of the League Cup in the fourth round, losing away to Bournemouth. The club exited the FA Cup in the sixth round, after they were beaten by local rivals Aston Villa.

On 6 November 2014, Albion unveiled a statue to their record goalscorer Tony "Bomber" Brown outside the East Stand.

Alan Irvine was sacked as head coach on 29 December, after a run of poor results, with Tony Pulis appointed as his replacement three days later.

During every home match throughout the season, the Albion fans applauded through the ninth minute of the match in support of the Justice for Jeff campaign. This concluded on 11 April 2015 when, for their home match against Leicester City, the Jeff Astle Foundation was launched. To promote this, and in memory of Jeff Astle, the players took to the pitch in a plain white kit, a replica of their 1968 FA Cup winning shirts. The kit featured no sponsors and was numbered 2–11 (with the goalkeeper in a blank kit).

In March 2015 a new Premier League record was set in the match between West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City for the biggest difference between the number of shots on target by two opposing teams (16 by Manchester City, 0 by Albion). This record still stands as of December 2016.

West Bromwich Albion's pre-season friendlies were announced on 22 May 2014, with several matches confirmed by the club later in the summer.
