The 2015 Victorian Football League season was the 134th season of the Victorian Football Association/Victorian Football League Australian rules football competition.
There will be 15 teams competing in the league. The season commenced Friday 17 April with Werribee and Geelong meeting at Simonds Stadium and concluded Sunday 27 September with the VFL Grand Final, won by Williamstown, who defeated Box Hill Hawks by 54 points at Etihad Stadium. It was Williamstown's 14th top division premiership.
The size of the league reduced from sixteen teams to fifteen for the 2015 season, following the withdrawal and disbanding of the Bendigo Football Club. Bendigo had enjoyed stability from 2003 until 2012 in a reserves affiliation with the Australian Football League's Essendon, but following Essendon's establishment of a stand-alone reserves team in 2013, Bendigo had struggled to remain competitive as a stand-alone club. In June 2014, half-way through what would finish as its second consecutive winless season, the club concluded that it was not financially viable in the long term and announced it would play out the 2014 season before folding.
