The 2015–16 Lega Basket Serie A, known for sponsorship reasons as the Serie A BEKO, is the 94th season of the Lega Basket Serie A, the highest professional basketball league in Italy.
The regular season started on 4 October 2015 and finished on 4 May 2015, with the playoffs starting on 7 May (dependent on an Italian club qualifying for the 2016 Euroleague Final Four) to finish between 13 and 16 June depending on results.
Banco di Sardegna Sassari was the defending champion.
EA7 Emporio Armani Milano won their 27th title by beating Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia in game 6 of the finals.
The season saw historic public broadcaster RAI (one match every week) joined by Sky Italia (two matches every week) in broadcasting the league's games for television, after an agreement with Lega Basket covering the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.
The season consists of a home-and-away schedule of 30 games, followed by an eight-team playoff round. The Quarterfinals are best-of-five, while the semifinals and finals series are best-of-seven. The last placed club is relegated, and is replaced by the winner of the playoffs of the second-level Serie A2 Basket.
Each team is allowed either five or seven foreign players under two formulas:
In early September 2015, nine squads had chosen the 5+5 formula and seven the 3+4+5.
The Serie A playoffs quarterfinals are best-of-five, while the semifinals and finals series are best-of-seven.
The 2015 Italian Supercup was the 21st edition of the super cup tournament in Italian basketball. It opened the season on 26 and 27 September 2015. Qualified for the tournament were league winners and cup winners Banco di Sardegna Sassari, cup finalists EA7 Emporio Armani Milano and league finalist Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia and Umana Reyer Venezia. These four teams competed for the title in Turin's PalaRuffini. Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia went on to win its first Supercoppa ever beating EA7 Emporio Armani Milano.
