Key events

  • 2 June: Luton confirm they have agreed an undisclosed "six-figure" transfer fee for Norwich City midfielder Cameron McGeehan, who will join the club on a two-year contract on 1 July.[1]
  • 30 June: Mark Cullen, the club's top scorer in the previous season, joins League One side Blackpool for £180,000.[2]
  • 1 August: Former Brighton & Hove Albion forward Craig Mackail-Smith signs a two-year contract with Luton after being on trial with the club for over a month.[3]
  • 8 August: Luton begin their 2015–16 campaign with a 1–1 draw away to Accrington Stanley.[4]
  • 24 August: Luton are knocked out of the League Cup at the second round, losing 8–7 in a penalty shootout to Premier League side Stoke City after the game finished 1–1 at extra time.[5]
  • 24 August: Following Brentford's sale of former Luton striker Andre Gray to Burnley, Luton confirm that they will receive £1.1 million in sell-on fees spread over three seasons. Additionally, Luton reveal that if Burnley win promotion to the Premier League with Gray in the side, the club would be due a further £700,000.[6] The potential total value of Gray's transfer, including the fee Brentford paid in June 2014, makes this one of the most lucrative transfers in Luton Town history.

  • 5 September: Luton win their first league game of the season at the sixth time of asking, beating Cambridge United 3–1 at the Abbey Stadium.[9]
  • 22 September: After impressing in his first six games for the club, midfielder Olly Lee signs an extended contract with Luton until June 2017.[10]
  • 3 October: Luton record their biggest Football League away victory since March 2005, winning 4–1 at Hartlepool United to lift the club to tenth in the table.[11]
  • 6 October: Luton are knocked out of the Football League Trophy at the second round following a 2–1 away loss to League One side Gillingham.[12]
