The 2015–16 Football League (known as the Sky Bet Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 117th season of The Football League. It began on 7 August 2015 and concluded on 30 May 2016, with the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium.{{cite news |title=Key Dates |url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/global/keydates.aspx |publisher=The Football League |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160531072553/http://www.football-league.co.uk/global/keydates.aspx |archive-date=31 May 2016 |access-date=5 April 2015}} The Football League was contested through three Divisions: the Championship, League One and League Two. The winners of the Championship, Burnley, and runners-up, Middlesbrough, were automatically promoted to the Premier League and on 28 May 2016 were joined by the winners of the Championship play-off, Hull City. The bottom two teams in League Two, Dagenham & Redbridge and York City, were relegated to the National League.

It was the last season that the league would be known simply as The Football League; from the 2016–17 season onwards, it would be known as the English Football League.{{cite news |title=Football League to be re-named the English Football League |url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/football-league-to-be-re-named-the-english-football-league-2798210.aspx |publisher=The Football League |date=12 October 2015}}
