Clubs of the Maltese Premier League 2014/15

Compared to the 2013/14 season , the composition of the league changed as follows: The Vittoriosa Stars and Rabat Ajax FC rose as the last and penultimate teams in the playout group in the First Division (second highest division) and were replaced by Pietà Hotspurs and Replaced Żebbuġ Rangers .

Only a few stadiums in Malta have the necessary infrastructure to hold regular Premier League matches. These were Ta 'Qali Stadium , Victor Tedesco Stadium , and Hibernians Football Ground . Each team has its own training area, but usually no matches are played on it. The games therefore usually take place on neutral ground, which essentially makes the distinction between home and away games obsolete.
