The Blue Demons, led by thirty-first year head coach Doug Bruno, play their home games at the McGrath–Phillips Arena. They are members of the Big East Conference.

This is expected to be the Blue Demons' final season at McGrath–Phillips Arena. DePaul plans to move the women's team off campus, though still within its home city of Chicago, into the new Wintrust Arena, currently under construction at the McCormick Place convention center. The arena will also become home to the DePaul men's team.

In the February 3 game against St. John's, senior guard Brooke Schulte scored her 1,000th career point.

The Blue Devils finished the 2015–16 season 27–9, 16–2 in Big East play to win the Big East regular season title. They advanced to the semifinals of the Big East Women's Tournament where they lost to St. John's. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament where defeated James Madison in the first round, Louisville in the second round before losing to Oregon State in the sweet sixteen.
