2015–16 Polska Hokej Liga season

The 2015–16 Polska Hokej Liga season is the 81st season of the Polska Hokej Liga, the top level of ice hockey in Poland. Twelve teams are participating in the league. GKS Katowice did not return to the league, as they suspended operations due to financial constraints. Three teams joined the league from the Polish 1. Liga: Nesta Mires Toruń, KH Zagłębie Sosnowiec, and SMS I Sosnowiec.

The regular season format remained the same as the previous season, but with 12 teams rather than only 10. The First Round had teams playing 22 matches, after which KS Cracovia led the league with 54 points.

The league was then divided into two groups for the Second Round: Group A, consisting of the top 6 teams, and Group B, consisting of the bottom 6 teams.

Regular season (First Round)
After 22 matches, the top 6 teams advanced to the stronger group (Group A) to determine standings before playoffs. The bottom 6 teams advanced to the weaker group (Group B) to determine the two teams that would also advance to the playoffs, and the team that would be relegated.

Regular season (Second Round, Group A)
The top 6 teams from the First Round were put in this group to determine the standings before the playoffs. Results from the Second Round are added to results from the First Round.

Regular season (Second Round, Group B)
The bottom 6 teams from the First Round were put in this group to determine the standings before the playoffs. Results from the Second Round are added to results from the First Round. The top two teams advanced to the Playoffs. The remaining teams, excluding SMS I Sosnowiec, were moved to the relegation round. SMS I Sosnowiec, an under-20 team, is not eligible to be relegated.

Relegation Round
The top two teams remain in the PHL, while the last place team is relegated to the Polish 1. Liga.
