The 2014–15 season was Cardiff City Football Club's 98th season playing professional football and the 87th in the Football League. Cardiff were relegated from the Premier League during the last season, meaning an instant return to the Championship, the second tier in English football. Also during this season, it was announced that the club would revert back to blue home kits with the red being made the away kit. The first home game back in blue was a 1-0 victory over Fulham on January 10, 2015.
