The 2015–16 season was the third season of competitive football played by Bengaluru FC. The club won their second I-League title but were knocked out early in the Federation Cup. In the AFC Cup, Bengaluru FC made it to the knockout phase where they defeated Kitchee to qualify for the quarter-finals next season.

The summer before the season began, the club were very active with their squad changes. Players who were with Bengaluru FC since their first season such as midfielder Sean Rooney and domestic players Pawan Kumar, Malemngamba Meetei, Darren Caldeira, and Robin Singh left the club permanently. The club also lost captain Sunil Chhetri and starting midfielder Thoi Singh to Mumbai City and Chennaiyin respectively but still retained them on loan after the Indian Super League concluded. Bengaluru FC also signed Kim Song-yong as their Asian quota player while midfielder Michael Collins was signed after Josh Walker was confirmed out for the season with injury. The side also signed Nishu Kumar, Daniel Lalhlimpuia, and Malsawmzuala from the AIFF Elite Academy while former India internationals Alwyn George and Seminlen Doungel were also brought in by head coach Ashley Westwood.
