The 2015–16 season was Shrewsbury Town's 130th year in existence and their first season back in League One after gaining promotion the previous season.[3] Much of the season was spent fighting relegation, with safety only secured following the final home match of the season where despite losing to Peterborough United, same day defeats for Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers ensured another season of League One football with one game to spare.[4]

The club also participated in the FA Cup, notably reaching the fifth round for the first time since 1991,[5] and also reached the second rounds of both the League Cup and the Football League Trophy. A team consisting of fringe and youth players retained the Shropshire Senior Cup for the second consecutive season after beating AFC Telford United on penalties in the final.

The season covers the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016.
