The 2015–16 Botswana Premier League was the 51st season of the Botswana Premier League since its establishment in 1966. Township Rollers won their 13th league title after defeating Centre Chiefs, 5-1, in the championship playoff. The playoff was announced following controversy as to who the rightful champion was following a series of point deductions and appeals. Township Rollers were docked 10 points for using ineligible player Ofentse Nato, dropping from 70 points to 60 and into second place with the decision. Following a series of appeals by both Township Rollers and Centre Chiefs, the Botswana Football Association decided to hold a championship game at the National Stadium on June 15, although the match was later postponed and played on August 11 at Molepolole Stadium in Molepolole.
Motlakase Power Dynamos, BR Highlanders and Satmos finished in the bottom three spots, respectively, and will be relegated to the Botswana First Division for the 2016–17 season.
