The 2015–16 VTB United League was the seventh season of the VTB United League, it was also the third season the league functions as the Russian domestic first tier. CSKA Moscow was the defending champion, and the team successfully defended its title.
BC Krasnye Krylia withdrew from the league as the Samara Sports Palace was not adequate for the VTB United League (such as a minimum requirement of 3,000 seats). It planned to reapply for the 2016–17 season after renovations.
In its place, Georgian Superliga side VITA Tbilisi was chosen in July 2015, the first side from that country to play in the league. All other clubs from the previous season were confirmed on the same occasion, along with a rough draft of a calendar.
