The 2015–16 LNFA season was the 22nd season of American football in Spain.
Teams were divided into three categories, named Serie A, B and C, with promotion and relegation between them.
Badalona Dracs won their seventh title, a record for the tournament.
Six teams entered the LNFA Serie A, the top-tier level of American football in Spain. Rivas Osos, Valencia Firebats, Valencia Giants and Badalona Dracs repeated from last year. Barberà Rookies and Reus Imperials were promoted from last year LNFA Serie B.
On December 28, the three teams from the Community of Madrid (Rivas Osos from Serie A, Camioneros Coslada and Las Rozas Black Demons from Serie B) were excluded from the competition as they did not have a junior team in the junior league.
On June 12, the fifth placed team in Serie A, Valencia Giants, played against Serie B runner-up, L'Hospitalet Pioners. Giants won the game and will play in next year Serie A.
Seven teams played the Serie B in 2016. L'Hospitalet Pioners and Mallorca Voltors were relegated from previous Serie A season. Gijón Mariners were promoted from Serie C in 2015.
The nine original teams were reduced to seven on December 28, when the Spanish Federation of American Football excluded the two teams from the Community of Madrid (Las Rozas Black Demons and Camioneros Coslada) arguing that they did not have junior teams in the junior league, one of the criteria to play the Serie A or B.
