Perspective
The last three teams and the 5th position from the 2013–14 season were initially relegated to their respective 2014–15 Liga II division. Săgeata Năvodari, Poli Timișoara, Corona Brașov were relegated and the 5th-placed Vaslui was relegated due to financial problems after 9 seasons in the top flight.
The first two teams from each of the two divisions of 2013–14 Liga II advanced to Liga I. CSMS Iași promoted as the winners of Seria I.[3] It is their second season in Liga I. Rapid București, second place in Seria I, made an immediate return to Liga I. Universitatea Craiova is for the first time in Liga I from Seria II, together with Târgu Mureș, who returned after a 2 year absence.
Rapid București was initially not given licence for the 2014–15 Liga I, but on 30 June 2014, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the appeal of Rapid București and therefore decided that they could promote in Liga I.[4]
Venues
- Steaua was relocated to Arena Națională in the second half of the season, as a result of the conflict with CSA Steaua București, owner of the stadium.
- Universitatea Craiova was relocated to Extensiv Stadium in the second half of the season, as a result of the demolition of the old Ion Oblemenco Stadium, that is planned to be replaced by a modern arena, new Ion Oblemenco Stadium.
- Viitorul was relocated to Concordia Stadium from Chiajna for this season, because Orășenesc Stadium from Ovidiu didn't meet the licensing rules.

Notes:
- CFR Cluj were initially deducted 24 points due to financial reasons,[71] but the decision was adjourned by Court of Arbitration for Sport until the conclusion of the insolvency proceedings.[72] CFR Cluj were not eligible to play in Europe as they did not obtain an UEFA license[73] because they filed for insolvency.[74]
- The Romanian Cup finalist Universitatea Cluj filed for insolvency, and the other one is Steaua București, so the European spot meant for cup winner will be filled up by the 3rd eligible team from the Liga I and the spot for the third-placed team will be given to the 4th eligible team from the Liga I.[75]
- Teams who have not been given a UEFA license (Brașov, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, CFR Cluj, Concordia Chiajna, Universitatea Craiova, Dinamo București, Oțelul Galați, Petrolul Ploiești, Rapid București and Universitatea Cluj) were not eligible to play in European competitions.[73] Petrolul Ploiești,[76] Dinamo București,[77] Rapid București,[78] FC Brașov,[79] Universitatea Cluj[75] and CFR Cluj[74] were not eligible to play in Europe because they filed for insolvency and Universitatea Craiova was not eligible because it was affiliated in 2013.[80]
