The 2015–16 UEFA Futsal Cup was the 30th edition of Europe's premier club futsal tournament, and the 15th edition under the current UEFA Futsal Cup format organized by UEFA.
Kairat Almaty were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the elite round. In the final, Gazprom-Ugra Yugorsk defeated Inter FS to become the third Russian team, after MFK Dinamo Moskva and MFK Viz-Sinara Yekaterinburg, to win the title.
A total of 49 teams from 48 of the 54 UEFA member associations entered the tournament, which included first-time entrants from Luxembourg. Each association could enter one team. Moreover, the winners of the 2014–15 UEFA Futsal Cup, Kairat Almaty, qualified automatically as title holders, and thus their association, Kazakhstan, could enter a second team.
Teams were ranked according to their UEFA coefficients, computed based on results of the last three seasons, to decide on the round they entered. The top four teams (with the title holders being the automatic top seed) entered the elite round, the next 16 teams (ranked 5–20) entered the main round, and the bottom 29 teams (ranked 21–49) entered the preliminary round.
For teams entering the preliminary round or main round, they were assigned a seeding position according to their ranking for the respective draw, with eight teams pre-selected as hosts for the preliminary round and six teams pre-selected as hosts for the main round (marked by (H) below).
The draws for the preliminary round and main round were held on 2 July 2015, 13:30 CEST (UTC+2), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
