2014–15 Professional U21 Development League

The 2014–15 Professional U21 Development League was the third season of the Professional Development League system.

League 1

Barclays U21 Premier League
Season	2015-2016
Champions	Manchester United
← 2013–14 2015–16 →

League 1, referred to as the Barclays Under 21 Premier League for sponsorship reasons, was split into two divisions, with teams allocated places in Division 1 or 2 based on their performance in the 2013–14 season.

At the end of the season, the team which finished top of Division 1 was crowned as overall League 1 champions, with the previously used knock-out system being abandoned. The top 8 teams qualified for the 2015–16 edition of the Premier League International Cup and the bottom two teams in Division 1 were relegated to Division 2 for the 2015–16 season, with the top teams in Division 2 moved in the opposite direction.^[1]
