Teams

Sigma Olomouc, the 2014–15 FNL champion, returns to the First League just one season after their relegation. Runner-up FK Varnsdorf were not promoted as their stadium failed to meet the league requirements. Instead, FC Fastav Zlín rejoins the top level for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
