NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was a professional wrestling show in the NXT TakeOver series that took place on August 22, 2015. The NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn event was produced by WWE, showcasing its NXT developmental brand, and streamed live on the WWE Network. The event took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York - the first night of what was billed as a WWE "triple-header" at the arena, with SummerSlam taking place the following evening, and Raw the night after that. This was the first NXT TakeOver held outside of Full Sail University; WWE promoted it as NXT being "on the biggest stage yet". Starting with NXT Arrival on February 27, 2014, WWE's developmental league NXT has held major shows broadcast live on the WWE network, with the August event being the seventh event in the series and was sold out.

There were two main events for the show, a ladder match for the NXT Championship with reigning champion Finn Bálor defending the title against former champion Kevin Owens, in a rematch from The Beast in the East show from Tokyo, Japan where Bálor won the championship, and a singles match for the NXT Women's Championship, where Sasha Banks defended her title against Bayley. A match for the NXT Tag Team Championship was also part of the show with The Vaudevillains capturing the championships. NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first WWE promoted event appearance of Japanese Jushin Thunder Liger who was making a one time appearance on the show, facing off against Tyler Breeze. The show also marked what was billed as the NXT in-ring debut of Apollo Crews, formerly Uhaa Nation, who started working for WWE/NXT during the summer of 2015.
