The 2015–16 Promotion League season is the fourth season of this league. It had previously been called 1. Liga Promotion but underwent a name change before the previous season. The Promotion League is the third highest level in the Swiss football league system, behind the Super League and the Challenge League.
The season started on 5 August 2015 and finished on 28 May 2016. The league was won by Servette FC who made an immediate return to the Challenge League while FC St. Gallen U-21 and Étoile Carouge were relegated to the 1. Liga Classic.
Teams
Last season Xamax had been division champions and were promoted to the 2015–16 Challenge League. Locarno and Delémont had ended the season in the two last positions and were therefore relegated. Thus the 2015–16 season saw three new clubs in the league, SC Cham and SC Kriens had both been promoted from the 1. Liga Classic and Servette FC had suffered relegation from the Challenge League.
