The 2015–16 season was Real Sociedad's 69th season in La Liga.

Season summary

On 29 June, it was announced that Mediapro had been ordered by the Supreme Court of Spain to pay Real Sociedad €10 million. The Supreme Court considered that the broadcasting company had committed serious, repeated infringements in breach of their contractual agreement with Real Sociedad.

On 9 November, it was announced that David Moyes' contract had been rescinded following a poor start to the season. The same day, the club announced the appointment of Eusebio Sacristán as his replacement.
