The regular season began on 11 September 2014 at home against IF Björklöven, and concluded on 28 February 2015 at home against AIK.[1] The team finished in third place in the regular season and thus qualified for play in the 2015 Slutspelsserien. Malmö Redhawks finished in third place in Slutspelsserien and qualified for Direktkval till SHL against Leksands IF. The team won the series 4–3 after defeating Leksand in the final game of the series. Malmö Redhawks were therefore promoted to the SHL for the 2015–16 season.
