Participating teams
As the Tour de Pologne is a UCI World Tour event, all seventeen UCI Pro Teams were invited automatically and obliged to enter a team into the race. Two wildcard teams were also given places: {{UCI team code|CCC|2015}} and a Polish national team.{{Cite book|title = Tour de Pologne|publisher = Lang Team Sp. z o.o.|year = 2015|location = Warsaw|pages = 12–13|ref = {{harvid|Lang Team|2015}}|url = http://tourdepologne.pl/download/72-tdp-folder-2/?wpdmdl=3916|type = PDF}}

Stages
=Stage 1=
;2 August 2015 — Warsaw to Warsaw, {{convert|122|km|1|abbr=on}}
The 2015 Tour de Pologne begins in Warsaw, with the shortest road stage of the entire race. After starting at the National Stadium, to make up the parcours of {{convert|122|km|1|abbr=on}}, the peloton will complete ten laps of a circuit {{convert|12.2|km|1|abbr=on}}. On the ninth lap, there will be an intermediate sprint at the Krasiński Square, whilst the sole categorised climb will be a third category ascent on the seventh lap, on the Karowa Street. Then, a sprint finish is expected, largely due to the very flat profile of the stage.

=Stage 3=
;4 August 2015 — Zawiercie to Katowice, {{convert|166|km|1|abbr=on}}
The last stage designed for the sprinters is held within the Metropolis GZM. After the start in Zawiercie, the peloton will head east towards Tarnowskie Góry, where a special sprint will take place. Then, the riders will turn south-east and pass through Piekary Śląskie, Chorzów and Siemanowice Śląskie, each of which will host an intermediate sprint, before entering a finishing circuit {{convert|14.7|km|1|abbr=on}} in length, to be completed four times. On the second lap, there will be a third-category mountains sprint at the Korfantego street, and then on the fourth lap there will be a third-category mountains sprint at the Góreckiego street. The final {{convert|1|km|1|abbr=on}} is downhill, and speeds there reach {{convert|80|km/h}}. The road is being used continuously since 2010 and saw victories for Yauheni Hutarovich, Marcel Kittel in 2011, Aidis Kruopis in 2012, Taylor Phinney in 2013 and Jonas Vangenechten the year before.

The queen stage of the 2014 Tour de Pologne is, since 2011, a circuit race around Bukowina Tatrzańska (although the village was visited in 2010). To make up the parcours of 174 km, the peloton will firstly completed a 5 km ride to Zakopane, three 5.3 km loops around Zakopane on which were two special sprints, a return 5 km ride before entering a 38.4 km loop to be completed four times. Each loop featured three climbs – a first category ascent to Ząb, with gradients reaching 11.5%, a first category ascent to Gliczarów Górny, with gradients reaching a huge 21.5% and the final, uncategorised ascent to Bukowina Tatrzańska. In total, the riders completed nearly 4000m of climbing during the stage. This stage should be the most decisive in the general classification.

;8 August 2015 — Kraków to Kraków, {{convert|25|km|1|abbr=on}}, individual time trial (ITT)
The last stage will be a time trial starting and finishing at the Main Square in Kraków. The route was identical to that of last year, and had the riders head south-east towards Wieliczka, before completing a U-turn in Wieliczka and heading north-west back to Kraków. Despite being virtually pan-flat, this stage is also scheduled to have a large impact on the general classification. As is customary of time trial stages, cyclists will set off in reverse order from where they were ranked in the general classification at the end of the previous stage.
