The 2015 Kenyan Premier League (known as the Tusker Premier League and thereafter the SportPesa Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the twelfth season of the Kenyan Premier League since it began in 2003, and the 52nd season of top-division football in Kenya since 1963. It began on 21 February and ended on 1 November.
Before the beginning of the season, talks with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) concerning the expansion of the top tier to 18 teams fell through. While the KPL continued with its agenda for the season, the FKF created a parallel top division called the FKF Premier League (FKF PL), consisting of 18 teams. In March, an agreement was reached to maintain, for the 2015 season, the KPL as the top division with the FKF PL as the second tier.
A total of 16 teams competed for the Kenyan Premier League, all returning from the 2014 season. Nairobi City Stars and Top Fry AllStars were not replaced as membership for the FKF Premier League was drawn from majority of the teams from the 2014 Kenyan National Super League, including those that were to be promoted to the Kenyan Premier League.
On 16 September, defending champions Gor Mahia beat Sony Sugar 1–0 to win a third consecutive league title with 4 matches to spare.[5] Finishing the season unbeaten with a record of 24–6–0 (24 wins, 6 draws, no losses), Gor Mahia remained the only club in Kenya to complete an unbeaten season (after achieving the same feat in the 1976 season) and became the only club in Kenya to have done so twice.[6] They also became the first club in Africa to finish a whole season unbeaten since Egyptian Premier League giants Al Ahly went through both the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons without a single loss en route to their 30th and 31st league titles.[7] Gor Mahia will represent Kenya in the preliminary round of the 2016 CAF Champions League and will play against the 2015 FKF President's Cup champions at the 2016 Kenyan Super Cup.
