The 2014β15 Dutch Basketball League season will be the 55th season of the Dutch Basketball League, the highest professional basketball league in the Netherlands. The defending champion was Donar from Groningen.
The league started the season with nine teams, after Matrixx Magixx didn't enter. In December the number of teams was reduced to eight, after Den Helder Kings went bankrupt.
Top seeded SPM Shoeters won the league, by beating Donar 4β1 in the Finals.
Before the season Matrixx Magixx announced it was withdrawing from the DBL, because the club could not complete its budget. [1] Consequently, the league started with nine teams instead of ten. In December 2014, Port of Den Helder Kings left as well following its bankruptcy.

Because the number of teams in the DBL decreased to nine, a new play-off format was chosen. After the seeds 3β6 played a best-of-three series in the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and finals would be played in a best-of-seven format. [3]
