The 2015–16 Football League (known as the Sky Bet Football League for sponsorship reasons) is the 117th season of The Football League. It began on 8 August 2015 and will conclude on 7/8 May 2016, with the promotion play-off finals at Wembley Stadium on 23–25 May 2016. The Football League is contested through three Divisions. The divisions are the Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner up of the Championship will be automatically promoted to the Premier League and they will be joined by the winner of the Championship playoff. The bottom two teams in League Two will be relegated to the National League.

This will be the last season that the league will be known simply as The Football League; from the 2016–17 season onwards, it will be known as the English Football League.
