The 2015–16 Arizona Coyotes season was the 37th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 20th season since the franchise relocated from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 NHL season,{{cite book|last=National Hockey League|title=The National Hockey League Official Guide & Record Book/2014|year=2013|publisher=Diamond Sports Data, Inc.|page=[https://archive.org/details/nationalhockeyle0000unse/page/105 105]|isbn=978-1894801263|url=https://archive.org/details/nationalhockeyle0000unse/page/105}} and the 44th overall, including the World Hockey Association years.

The season began its regular games on October 9, 2015 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Despite being unable to play since 2011 following career-ending injuries, the Coyotes acquired Chris Pronger's contract from the Philadelphia Flyers in a trade that sent Pronger and Nicklas Grossmann to Phoenix in exchange for Sam Gagner and a conditional pick.
