← 2014–15 2016–17 →

The 2015–16 Polska Hokej Liga season was the 81st season of the Polska Hokej Liga, the top level of ice hockey in Poland. Twelve teams participated in the league. GKS Katowice (ice hockey) did not return to the league, as they suspended operations due to financial constraints. Three teams joined the league from the Polish 1. Liga: Nesta Mires Toruń, KH Zagłębie Sosnowiec, and SMS I Sosnowiec (a youth team).

The regular season format remained the same as the previous season, but with 12 teams rather than only 10. The first round had teams playing 22 matches, after which KS Cracovia led the league with 54 points.

The league was then divided into two groups for the second round: group A, consisting of the top 6 teams, and group B, consisting of the bottom 6 teams. KS Cracovia stayed in first place, finishing the season with 101 points. Their success continued into the playoffs, which they ended up winning after beating GKS Tychy in the finals. Podhale Nowy Targ won the bronze-medal match.

KH Zagłębie Sosnowiec and Naprzód Janów were relegated to the Polish 1. Liga.
