The season began on 17 August 1974 and concluded on 29 June 1975. This was the second national title win for Hajduk under the guidance of manager Tomislav Ivić, who had previously led the club to three consecutive Yugoslav Cup wins in 1972, 1973 and 1974. Over the subsequent seasons, Ivić would go on to win the 1976 cup and 1978–79 championship with Hajduk, becoming the most successful manager in club's history.
Strikers Boško Đorđević of Partizan and Dušan Savić of Red Star shared the title of top goalscorer with 20 goals each. Both players topped the scoring table for the first time in their careers, with Savić repeating the achievement in the 1978–79 season.
