The 2014–15 Western Sydney Wanderers FC season was the club's third season since its establishment in 2012. The club participated in the A-League for the third time, the FFA Cup for the first time, the AFC Champions League for the second time and the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time.
The Wanderers' competitive season began with the 2014 FFA Cup during August 2014. Their 2014–15 A-League season commenced in October 2014, and the 2015 AFC Champions League in February 2015.
In addition, the Wanderers continued their 2014 AFC Champions League campaign from the previous season on 20 August 2014, due to the calendar format of the continental tournament not matching directly with the A-League schedule. The Wanderers won the final, which took place on 1 November 2014, with several A-League games rescheduled as a result.
