The 2014–15 Philadelphia Flyers season was the 48th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 5, 1967. For the second time in three years, the Flyers failed to qualify for the playoffs. The Flyers finished the season tied with the NHL record for most overtime losses in a season with 18, which was also held by the 2008–09 Tampa Bay Lightning, 2011–12 Florida Panthers, and 2013–14 New Jersey Devils. This record would later be broken by the 2025–26 Los Angeles Kings, who finished the season with 20 overtime losses.
Off-season On April 15, 2014, the Flyers re-signed 27-year-old impending unrestricted free agent Andrew MacDonald to a six-year extension for $30 million to keep the defenseman under contract through the 2019–20 NHL season.
On May 7, 2014, Paul Holmgren was promoted to president of the Flyers and Ron Hextall was promoted to general manager.
On June 23, 2014, Hextall's first major move as general manager was to trade Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for R. J. Umberger and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 draft. Hextall would later sign free agent defensemen Nick Schultz and Michael Del Zotto to one-year deals.
Regular season Forward Zac Rinaldo received an eight-game suspension for boarding and charging against Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang on January 20, which was the longest suspension handed out for an on-ice incident during the 2014–15 season.
