Relegation to the 2015 Kenyan National Super League |
The 2014 Kenyan Premier League (known as the Tusker Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the eleventh season of the Kenyan Premier League since it began in 2003. It was also the 51st season of top division football in Kenya since 1963. Gor Mahia won the league title for the second consecutive season, earning a place in the preliminary round of the 2015 CAF Champions League while 2014 FKF President's Cup champions Sofapaka represented Kenya in the preliminary round of the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup. The two teams faced each other at the 2015 Kenyan Super Cup.
A total of 16 teams competed for the league, with fourteen returning from the 2013 season and the promotion play-off winners of FKF Division One, which has since become the third tier of the Kenyan football league system after the introduction of the National Super League on 10 July 2013.
Half of the 16 participating teams are based in the capital, Nairobi, while Bandari is the only team based at the Coast.
On 11 May 2014, the match between Thika United and A.F.C. Leopards was the season's first to be abandoned after fans of the latter invaded the pitch in the 85th minute, frustrated by their team's failure to get on the score sheet. At the time the match was called off, Thika United were leading 1–0. The KPL awarded Thika United a 2–0 victory, and A.F.C. Leopards were handed a fine of Ksh. 500,000 to be paid by 20 June 2014.
