The 2014–15 Topklasse season was the fifth season of the third tier Dutch football league. A total of 32 teams participated: 24 from the 2012–13 Topklasse, and the remaining eight from the 2013–14 Hoofdklasse. As usual, the competition is divided into two leagues: "Saturday" and "Sunday", who differ by the day their games are usually played.
For the fourth consecutive season, no team was relegated from the Eerste Divisie, this time because all 2013–14 Topklasse teams had declined promotion into professionalism.
