The 2014–15 Darmstadt 98 season was the club's 117th season. This was the club's 18th season in the 2. Bundesliga overall and first since promotion.

Background[]

Darmstadt 98 played in their 117th season in the 2. Bundesliga after having been promoted after a dramatic relegation-promotion playoff against Arminia Bielefeld in which the deciding goal was scored in the 122nd minute.^[1] This was widely seen as a sensation, as Darmstadt were supposed to be relegated in the 2012–13 season but were spared due to their rivals having their licence revoked because of going into administration.^[2] The promotion finished a 21–year run outside of the 2. Bundesiga.^[1]
