# 2015–16 Bologna FC 1909 season

The 2015–16 season was Bologna Football Club 1909's first season back in Serie A after their relegation to Serie B at the end of the 2013–14 season. The club competed in Serie A, finishing 14th after an early season spent in the relegation zone, and in the Coppa Italia, where the club was disappointingly eliminated in the third round by Pavia.
