The 2015 Indonesia Super League, also known as QNB League for sponsorship reasons,[1] was the seventh season of the top-flight Indonesian professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 2008.

The season was planned to be started in February 2015.[2] It was first officially announced that the 2015 Indonesia Super League would start on 1 February 2015, with verification process for the participants done in December 2014 but because of the reduction to participants to 18 teams, it was planned to start either on 21 or 22 February.[3][4] After Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs, Imam Nahrawi, postponed the start of the season because of legal verifications reasons, on 23 February 2015, it was agreed that this season would start on 4 April 2015.[5] The revised schedule was planned to end on 23 November 2015.[6]

Persib were the defending champions. Pusamania Borneo joined as the promoted teams from the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division. They replaced Persepam Madura United, Persita, Persijap, Persiba Bantul, and Persik who were relegated to the 2015 Liga Indonesia Premier Division.

The season would have some changes including the implementation of three different kick-off time for weekend matches, which are 15:30, 19:00 and 21:00. There would be also only two weekday matches scheduled.[7]

This season was officially discontinued by PSSI on 2 May 2015 due to a ban by Imam Nahrawi, Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs, against PSSI to run any football competition.[8]
