The 2015–16 season was the Persepolis's 15th season in the Pro League, and their 30th consecutive season in the top division of Iranian Football. They were also competing in the Hazfi Cup. Persepolis is captained by Alireza Noormohammadi.

The season was affected by the death of captain Hadi Norouzi, aged 30, on October 1 from heart failure, being given the armband only at the start of the season. The news came as a big shock to Persepolis and Iranian football. A memorial was held at Azadi Stadium on 2 October which was attended by 20,000 mourners. His body was kept at the stadium for one day and then was transferred to Babol. His funeral was held on the following day and he was buried at his hometown, Kapur Chal village at Babol.
