The 2015 North Carolina A&T Aggies football team will represent North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in the upcoming 2015 NCAA Division I FCS football season. They will be led by fifth-year head coach Rod Broadway and play their home games at Aggie Stadium. They are a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). Although the Aggies finished the 2014 season in a five way tie for the MEAC Championship with a 6–2 conference record, the team did not earn the conference's automatic bid or an at-large bid to the 2014 FCS playoffs.

Before the season

At the conclusion of the 2014 football season, the Aggies lost key players such as All-American center Ronald Canty, All-American and three-time All-MEAC standout guard/tackle William Ray Robinson III and 2014 starting right guard Olin Leak and defensive back Donald Mattocks. In addition, one of the best tacklers in school history, All-MEAC linebacker D’Vonte Grant, played his final season with the Aggies.^[1]
