Competition format

The participating teams first played a conventional round-robin schedule with every team playing each opponent once "home" and once "away" for a total of 14 games. The league was then split up in two groups of four teams with each of them playing teams within its group in a home-and-away cycle of games. The top four teams competed for the championship. The bottom four clubs played for one direct relegation spot and one relegation play-off spot. Records earned in the First Round were taken over to the respective Second Round.[1]

Promotion and relegation from 2013–14

CE Principat were relegated after last season due to finishing in eighth place. They were replaced by Segona Divisió champions UE Engordany.

Inter Club d'Escaldes, who finished last season in 7th place, and Segona Divisió runners up CE Jenlai played a two-legged relegation play-off. Inter Club d'Escaldes won the playoff, 6–1 on aggregate, and remained in the Primera Divisió while CE Jenlai remained in the Segona Divisió.
