Notes:
- South China won the 2013–14 Hong Kong Season Play-off and thus qualified for the 2015 AFC Cup Group stage.
- Since the 2013–14 Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield winners (South China) would at this point qualify for the 2013–14 Hong Kong Season Play-off, the 4th placed team would qualify for the Season Play-off. At the same time, Royal Southern declined to participate in the 2014–15 Hong Kong Premier League and would self-relegate in the following season.
- Eastern Salon qualified for the 2013–14 Hong Kong Season Play-off as winners of the 2013–14 Hong Kong FA Cup.
- Sunray Cave JC Sun Hei & Citizen declined to participate in the 2014–15 Hong Kong Premier League and would self-relegate in the following season.
- On 13 February 2014, the HKFA announced that as a result of a match-fixing investigation, both Tuen Mun and Happy Valley would be excluded from the league, and their records would be expunged.[2]
