- Away: The away kit was all white with blue trims on the shorts. This kit used the stripped crest for the entirety of the season.
- Third: The third kit had the same design as the home kit, but in black and yellow colors. It was unpopular with the fans, who wanted their team to play in blue or in white, and was used only once.
- Fourth: The fourth kit consisted of green shirts, black shorts and black socks. It was unpopular with the fans, who wanted their team to play in blue or in white, and was used only once.

Liga I
The Liga I fixture list was announced on 2 July 2014.[4]
Universitatea Craiova started their league campaign against Pandurii Targu Jiu in a thrilling match that ended in a 1–1 draw. The game saw over 15,000 fans flock to the "Ion Oblemenco" stadium to support the home team. Both teams began the game with caution, but Universitatea quickly took charge of the game, with Curelea coming close to scoring in the 13th minute, but his lobbed shot missed the target. The rest of the half saw Universitatea control the game but unable to find the final pass. The second half saw Ferfelea and Curelea creating more chances, and Pleșan's entry at halftime energized the home team's attack. Against the run of play, Pandurii took the lead in the 75th minute, when Shalaj took advantage of a lack of synchronisation in Craiova's defense. Despite Curelea missing several chances, including one that hit the crossbar, he eventually found the back of the net in the 87th minute to level the score at 1-1.
In their next match against Steaua Bucharest, Universitatea Craiova put up a valiant effort but ultimately lost 3–1. The Craiova team played without Mateiu and Pleșan, who were injured, and manager Jerry Gane experimented with Madson and Nuno Rocha in midfield. Despite conceding a goal in the third minute, Universitatea attacked Steaua relentlessly, and Băluță's chance in the second half went begging. Steaua proved too experienced for the young Craiova team, and the game ended 3–1 in favor of the home team.
Universitatea Craiova faced Viitorul Constanta in their next game, which ended 2-2. The visitors took the lead from a penalty, but two Curelea goals before halftime put the home team in front. It was a tight game, and Mitrea's second-half free-kick equalized for Viitorul, with both teams creating chances to win in the closing stages. The point was well-deserved for the Craiova team, who showed their fighting spirit.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head results; 3) goal difference; 4) number of goals scored
(I) Unable to qualify for UEFA Competitions
Notes:
- CFR Cluj were initially deducted 24 points due to financial reasons,[5] but the decision was adjourned by Court of Arbitration for Sport until the conclusion of the insolvency proceedings.[6] CFR Cluj were not eligible to play in Europe as they did not obtain an UEFA license[7] because they filed for insolvency.[8]
- CFR Cluj ahead on head-to-head record; CFR Cluj–Astra Giurgiu 4–1, Astra Giurgiu–CFR Cluj 0–1
- The Romanian Cup finalist Universitatea Cluj filed for insolvency, and the other one is Steaua București, so the European spot meant for cup winner will be filled up by the 3rd eligible team from the Liga I and the spot for the third-placed team will be given to the 4th eligible team from the Liga I.[9]
- Teams who have not been given a UEFA license (Brașov, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, CFR Cluj, Concordia Chiajna, Universitatea Craiova, Dinamo București, Oțelul Galați, Petrolul Ploiești, Rapid București and Universitatea Cluj) were not eligible to play in European competitions.[7] Petrolul Ploiești,[10] Dinamo București,[11] Rapid București,[12] FC Brașov,[13] Universitatea Cluj[9] and CFR Cluj[8] were not eligible to play in Europe because they filed for insolvency and Universitatea Craiova was not eligible because it was affiliated in 2013.[14]

Cupa României
Universitatea Craiova entered the Romanian Cup at the Round of 32.
Their first opponents were second division side FC Caransebeș. Playing with several second string players, Craiova started the game brightly and missed two early chances. Ferfelea's free-kick almost hit the target and Herghelegiu was unable to tap in the ball from inside the six-yard box. In the 25th minute Ferfelea's cross-shot was deflected in the goal by Caransebeș defender Goşa, and Craiova opened the score. After the goal, Craiova's players relaxed and Lupu equalized after a hesitation from the central defenders. The Students were unfazed by the goal and continued to attack, but they were unable to find the net. The numerical equilibrium was broken after Lupu was sent off in the 67th minute. Soon after, Ferfelea received a pass in the middle of the penalty area and scored the winning goal.[15]
In the Round of 16 Universitatea was drawn to play at home against Viitorul Constanța. Craiova created a few early chances through Băluță and Ferfelea, but they were unable to score. Viitorul replied through ex-Craiova player Neacșa, who escaped in a one on one situation with the goalkeeper, but his weak shot was unable to threaten the goal and the first half ended scoreless. Craiova started the second half on the offensive, and their efforts were rewarded when a Curelea volley was boxed by Viitorul's goalkeeper to Băluță, who scored from close range. Despite playing in 10 men after the sending off of Puțanu, Viitorul equalized in stoppage time after a corner and sent the game into extra-time. In the 97th minute, Craiova winger Bancu suffered a double leg fracture that sidelined him for most of the remaining of the season. Mateiu scored the winning goal in the 112th minute and sent Craiova through to the quarter-finals.[16]
