2014–15 Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. season
Brighton entered this season having finished in a play-off position in both seasons prior, twice going out in the semi-finals. A new manager, Sami Hyypiä, had been appointed following Óscar Garcia's resignation in the previous season after bowing out of the play-offs to Derby County. A sense of optimism presided the beginning of the season, however it would have a drastically different outcome than was anticipated, as Brighton languished towards the bottom of the Championship table for much of the campaign.


2014–15 Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. season
A very poor first half of the season, in which Brighton had only won three out of their first 23 games and at one point had gone on an 11-game winless run, culminated in manager Hyypia's demise by December, with the Seagulls in the relegation zone at the time of his dismissal. Chris Hughton was swiftly appointed as the new manager, and he was able to steady the ship in the second half of the season, guiding Brighton to 20th position in the league and, as such, safety for the forthcoming campaign. The Seagulls went on another winless run of seven games towards the end of the season, however previous results proved enough to keep them six points above relegated Millwall in 22nd.

2014–15 CEV Women's Challenge Cup, Format
On 12 June 2014, a drawing of lots in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, determined the team's pairing for each match. Each team played a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg (3 points for 3–0 or 3–1 wins, 2 points for 3–2 win, 1 point for 2–3 loss). After two legs, the team with the most result points advanced to the next round. In case the teams were tied after two legs, a Golden Set was played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points (thus, the Golden Set is similar to a tiebreak set in a normal match).
