Murcia and Racing case

Due to their financial problems, Murcia and Racing de Santander were threatened with being relegated to the Segunda División B. On 1 August 2014, LaLiga published an official statement announcing that Murcia was not able to be registered in the league, while Racing had five days to present the additional economic-financial information requested by the association.[3]

On 7 August, LaLiga decided to relegate Murcia to the Segunda División B, whereby Mirandés remained in the Segunda despite being in a relegation position.[3]

On 13 August, despite LaLiga being forced to re-admit Murcia and suspending its relegation to Segunda División B,[4] the League announced in a new statement that it could not allow Murcia to play in the Segunda[5] and, the next day, suspended the start of the championship.[6][7]

A new judgement confirmed the relegation of Murcia and the Segunda started with Mirandés completing the 22 teams.[8]

Notes: The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 17.
