All clubs met twice in a double round tournament , once at home and once away. A team played a total of 26 games. There were three points for a win; in the case of a draw, each team received one point. For the first time, the outward and second round were evaluated separately, and an overall table was created to determine the possible promotions and relegations to the 2015 J3 League . All three tables were created according to the following criteria:
- Number of points scored
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Results of the games among themselves
- Decision game or coin toss
For promotion to the J3 League, a team had to have the license for this division and complete within the top four of the overall table. A maximum of two clubs rose. Due to the reduced number of participants compared to the previous season, the relegation was completely suspended at the end of the season in order to get to the number of sixteen teams targeted for the future as quickly as possible.
