Preseason

On November 2, 2015, it was announced that Richard Nightingale was no longer with the team and that Shallenberger had taken over as acting president.{{cite web|last1=Grubba|first1=Matt|title=Riverhounds president Nightingale no longer with the team|url=http://triblive.com/sports/riverhounds/9367723-74/nightingale-riverhounds-president#axzz3qHdhzXpL|publisher=Pittsburgh Tribune Review|access-date=November 2, 2015}} After one season without an MLS affiliate, it was announced that the club had formed an affiliate partnership with the reigning Eastern Conference playoff champion and MLS Cup runner-up Columbus Crew SC for the 2016 season.{{cite web|last1=Corr|first1=Charlie|title=Hounds Partner with MLS Cup Finalist Crew SC|url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=32800&ATCLID=210590292|publisher=USL|access-date=December 16, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222155226/http://www.uslsoccer.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=32800&ATCLID=210590292#|archive-date=December 22, 2015|url-status=dead}}
