The 2015–16 Football League (known as the Sky Bet Football League for sponsorship reasons) was the 117th season of The Football League. It began on 7 August 2015 and concluded on 30 May 2016, with the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium.[1] The Football League was contested through three Divisions; Championship, League One and League Two. The winners of the Championship, Burnley and runner-up Middlesbrough were automatically promoted to the Premier League and on 28 May 2016 were joined by the winner of the Championship play-off, Hull City. The bottom two teams in League Two, Dagenham & Redbridge and York City, were relegated to the National League.

It was the last season that the league would be known simply as The Football League; from the 2016–17 season onwards, it will be known as the English Football League.[2]
