The 2015–16 LEB Oro season was the 20th season of the Spanish basketball second league LEB Oro. The season started on October 2 and ended on May 27 with the last game of the promotion playoffs finals.

Despite the aim to increase the number of teams to sixteen, finally a total of 14 teams contested the league, including 12 sides from the 2014–15 season and two promoted from the 2014–15 LEB Plata.Ford Burgos, CB Valladolid and Instituto de Fertilidad Clínicas Rincón, who will play in this season's LEB Plata resigned to play in the league while CB Prat Joventut, relegated in the last season, achieved a vacant berth.

On 28 August 2015, the Spanish Basketball Federation extended the league to 16 teams with FC Barcelona Lassa B from LEB Plata and San Pablo Inmobiliaria Burgos, a new-creation in Burgos that replaces Ford Burgos.

The table lists the positions of teams after completion of each round.

At the half of the league, the two first teams in the table play the Copa Princesa de Asturias at home of the winner of the first half season (15th round). If this team doesn't want to host the Copa Princesa, the second qualified can do it. If nobody wants to host it, the Federation will propose a neutral venue.

The Champion of this Cup will play the play-offs as first qualified if it finishes the league between the 2nd and the 5th qualified. The Copa Princesa will be played on January 29, 2016.

The All-LEB Oro team was selected after the end of the playoffs.

This was the first year that this team was chosen.
