All statistics correct as of 14 February 2016.

The 2015–16 LigaPro (also known as Ledman LigaPro for sponsorship reasons) is the 26th season of Portuguese football's second-tier league, and the first season under the current LigaPro title. A total of 24 teams compete in this division, including five reserve sides from top-flight Primeira Liga teams. The season began on 7 August 2015 and is scheduled to end on 14 May 2016.

Teams

A total of 24 teams contest the league, including 19 sides from the 2014–15 season, two teams relegated from the 2014–15 Primeira Liga (Gil Vicente and Penafiel) and three promoted from the 2014–15 Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (Mafra, Famalicão and Varzim).

Other team changes compared to the previous season include the promotion of Tondela and União da Madeira to the 2015–16 Primeira Liga, and the relegation of Marítimo B, Trofense and Beira-Mar to the 2015–16 Campeonato de Portugal.

On 19 June 2015, the LPFP announced that five teams instead of three will be relegated to the third tier to reduce the number of Segunda Liga teams to 22 beginning from the 2016–17 season.[2]
