The 2015 season was Malmö FF's 104th in existence, their 80th season in Allsvenskan and their 15th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan where they finished fifth, 2014–15 Svenska Cupen where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals and the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League where they were knocked out in the group stage. Malmö FF also participated in one competition in which the club continued playing in for the 2016 season, 2015–16 Svenska Cupen. The season began with the group stage of Svenska Cupen on 22 February, league play started on 6 April and concluded on 31 October. The season concluded with the last Champions League group stage match on 8 December.

Markus Rosenberg was appointed permanent club captain, succeeding Guillermo Molins, who he had temporarily replaced during the summer of 2014 due to Molins being injured. For the first time in the history of the club, Malmö FF appeared in consecutive UEFA Champions League group stages. The club was not as successful on the domestic stage as they failed to defend their title by finishing fifth in the league. This was the first time that Malmö FF missed out on the top-four since the 2009 season.

The league season started on 6 April 2015 and concluded on 31 October 2015. The official season fixtures were released on 21 January 2015. Malmö FF started the season away against newly promoted GIF Sundsvall on 6 April, Malmö FF won the match 4–1. The club's first home fixture was played on 9 April against last year's third-place team AIK, the match ended in a goalless draw. There was a one-month summer break in June due to Sweden's participation in the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic. Malmö FF played no league matches between 7 June and 5 July. The club played its last league fixture of the season at home against IFK Norrköping on 31 October, a 2–0 defeat which saw Norrköping become league champions.
