The 2014–15 Turkish Airlines Euroleague was the 15th season of the modern era of Euroleague Basketball and the fifth under the title sponsorship of the Turkish Airlines. Including the competition's previous iteration as the FIBA Europe Champions Cup, this was the 58th season of the premier competition for European men's clubs.

The city of Madrid hosted the Final Four from May 15 to 17, 2015.

There were three routes to participation in the Euroleague:

The Euroleague had the right to cancel an A licence for one of the following reasons:

Classification after the 2013–14 Euroleague, including also the 2011–12 and the 2012–13 seasons.

B licences could be given to every team without an A licence. If in the allocation appeared a team with A licence, the next team in the criteria would receive the B licence, which qualified directly to the Regular Season.

Notes:

The participating teams for the season were announced on June 25, 2014. The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round (TH: Euroleague title holders):

Eight teams participated in a single-venue tournament format that took place in Ostend, Belgium, from 23 to 26 September. The winner advanced to the Euroleague regular season.

Teams were seeded into six pots of four teams in accordance with the Club Ranking, based on their performance in European competitions during a three-year period.

Two teams from the same country or league could not be drawn together in the same Regular Season group. In brackets, the points in the Club Ranking. Following the Eurocup bylaws, the lowest possible position that any club from that country or league could occupy in the draw was calculated by adding the results of the worst performing team from each league.
