The 2015–16 Borussia Dortmund season is the 105th season (and 106th overall year) in the football club's history and 40th consecutive and 49th overall season in the top flight of German football, the Bundesliga, having been promoted from the 2. Bundesliga in 1976. In addition to the domestic league, Borussia Dortmund will also participate in this season's editions of the domestic cup, the DFB-Pokal, and the second-tier continental cup, the UEFA Europa League. This will be the 43rd season for the club in the Westfalenstadion, located in Dortmund, Germany. The stadium has a capacity of 81,359 for Bundesliga matches, and a capacity of 65,851 for continental matches. The season covers a period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.

Dortmund finished the previous season in seventh place in the Bundesliga, one of its worst finishes in recent years. It won the DFL-Supercup in the previous season, but was unable to qualify for this season. Dortmund also progressed to the round of 16 in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League before being knocked out by Juventus. This season, Dortmund only qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, the second-tier continental cup. They will enter the competition in the third qualifying round. If they advance from this round, they must also get through the play-off round before qualifying for the group stage. Last season, Dortmund ended up as runners-up of the DFB-Pokal after losing to VfL Wolfsburg. Dortmund will begin the season with new coach Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Jürgen Klopp.
