The 2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team represented Southern Illinois University Edwardsville during the 2015 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, the school's 49th season. The Cougars were coached in 2015 by Mario Sanchez. The team played their home games on Bob Guelker Field at the Ralph Korte Stadium as an affiliate member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).
A nationwide search for a new head coach began in December, 2014, and on January 27, 2015 Mario Sanchez, the associate head coach of the Louisville Cardinals was introduced as the new Cougars head coach.
Twelve players returned from the 2014 squad that won the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship and advanced to the second round of the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship tournament. They were joined by four redshirted players, including a starting midfielder from 2013 who missed the 2014 season due to injuries and another from 2014 who was injured in the first game and missed the rest of the season. They were also joined by eleven incoming freshmen and two transfer students who started games for their previous schools.
In the Spring schedule, the Cougars played "friendlies" versus two United Soccer League professional sides and three Division I opponents. Losing only the first match, 1–2 to Saint Louis FC at Korte Stadium on an 89th-minute goal during a snow storm, and tying Lipscomb 1–1, the Cougars defeated pro side Louisville City FC 1–0, ACC powerhouse and former Big Central opponent (2014 #18) Louisville 1–0 in Louisville, and former MVC rival (2014 #7) Creighton 3–1 in Omaha, yielding a final Spring record of 3–1–1.
