The 2015 Liga Premier (English: 2015 Premier League) was the 12th season of the Liga Premier, the second-tier professional football league in Malaysia.

The season was held from January and concluded in August 2015.

The Liga Premier champions for 2015 season was Kedah. The champions and runners-up were both promoted to 2016 Liga Super.

A total of 4 foreign players can be registered by Liga Premier teams, including at least one player from AFC countries. A maximum of 3 foreign players can be fielded at one time in a match. The announcement was made by FAM during the exco meeting in November 2013, following a decision to upgrade the foreign players quota from 2 in 2013 to 3 in the April 2013 meeting. The Liga Premier also introduced the "home grown players" rule, which aims to encourage the development of young footballers at Liga Premier clubs. The new rule required clubs to name at least five U-21 players in their squad.
Negeri Sembilan were renamed to NS Matrix for sponsorship reason.

A total of 12 teams are contesting the league, including 8 sides from the 2014 season, two promoted from the 2014 Malaysia FAM League and two relegated from 2014 Liga Super.

On 27 May 2014, Kuala Lumpur earned promotion from the 2014 Malaysia FAM League. They returned to the second division after being absent for a year. This was followed by Kuantan. The two teams replace Perlis and PBAPP who were all relegated to the 2015 Liga FAM.

T-Team and PKNS were relegated from 2014 Liga Super. They are replacing PDRM and Felda United who get promotion to 2015 Liga Super.
