The 2015–16 season was Associazione Sportiva Roma's 88th in existence and 87th season in the top flight of Italian football. The team began the season competing in Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Champions League, but were knocked out in the round of 16 in the latter two competitions. After a run of fourteen wins and three draws in their final seventeen matches, Roma managed to finish the league in third place, qualifying for the play-off round of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League.
