The 2015 CAF Champions League Final was the final of the 2015 CAF Champions League, the 51st edition of Africa's premier club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the 19th edition under the current CAF Champions League format.
The final was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between USM Alger of Algeria and TP Mazembe of Democratic Republic of the Congo. The first leg was hosted by USM Alger at the Omar Hamadi Stadium in Algiers on 31 October 2015, while the second leg was hosted by TP Mazembe at the Stade TP Mazembe in Lubumbashi on 8 November 2015. The winner earned the right to represent the CAF at the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the quarterfinal stage, as well as play in the 2016 CAF Super Cup against the winner of the 2015 CAF Confederation Cup.
TP Mazembe won the competition for the fifth time in its history and first time since 2010, defeating USM Alger of Algeria 4–1 on aggregate.
Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first (H: home; A: away).
The final was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the order of legs decided by a draw, held after the group stage draw. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).
