The 2015 season was Malmö FF's 104th in existence, their 80th season in Allsvenskan and their 15th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan where they finished fifth, 2014–15 Svenska Cupen where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals and the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League where they were knocked out in the group stage. Malmö FF also participated in one competition in which the club continued playing in for the 2016 season, 2015–16 Svenska Cupen. The season began with the group stage of Svenska Cupen on 22 February, league play started on 6 April and concluded on 31 October. The season concluded with the last Champions League group stage match on 8 December.

Markus Rosenberg was appointed permanent club captain, succeeding Guillermo Molins, who he had temporarily replaced during the summer of 2014 due to Molins being injured.^[1] For the first time in the history of the club, Malmö FF appeared in consecutive UEFA Champions League group stages. The club was not as successful on the domestic stage as they failed to defend their title by finishing fifth in the league. This was the first time that Malmö FF missed out on the top-four since the 2009 season.

Summary

Allsvenskan

The league season started on 6 April 2015 and concluded on 31 October 2015. The official season fixtures were released on 21 January 2015.^[2] Malmö FF started the season away against newly promoted GIF Sundsvall on 6 April, Malmö FF won the match 4–1. The club's first home fixture was played on 9 April against last year's third-place team AIK, the match ended in a goalless draw. There was a one-month summer break in June due to Sweden's participation in the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic. Malmö FF played no league matches between 7 June and 5 July. The club played its last league fixture of the season at home against IFK Norrköping on 31 October, a 2–0 defeat which saw Norrköping become league champions.

The club got off to a fairly promising start, winning three of the first five games against GIF Sundsvall, title contenders and rivals IFK Göteborg and newly promoted Hammarby IF. Out of these first five games Malmö FF also tied against title rivals AIK and Falkenbergs FF. Notably Malmö FF dropped pole position in the league to Gefle IF on 9 April in the second round of play. The club had held first place in the league since 18 August 2013 for a continuous streak of 599 days, never losing the lead during the victorious 2014 season. Malmö FF continued to win the following two games at home against Halmstads BK and regional rivals Helsingborgs IF. These two wins solidified the club's position as league leaders after seven rounds of play.

The following three matches resulted in a win-less streak of a draw and two losses in a row. Malmö FF first tied the away fixture against IF Elfsborg after a late equaliser from the home side. This was succeeded by defeats against BK Häcken and Kalmar FF, notably the last time Malmö FF won against Häcken was as far back as in October 2011. This was the first time since September 2014 that the club failed to win in three games and the first time since June 2011 that they lost two league matches in succession. This streak was followed by back to back wins against Åtvidabergs FF and Gefle IF and a home draw against Djurgårdens IF. This meant that Malmö FF took up fourth position in the league table at the time of the summer break, seven points behind leaders IFK Göteborg.

When Allsvenskan restarted in July, Malmö FF experienced another struggling period as they failed to win any of the first three matches after the break, an away loss against IFK Norrköping and two consecutive draws against Örebro SK. This was followed by a four-match undefeated streak in which Malmö FF defeated GIF Sundsvall, league leaders IFK Göteborg, Gefle and drew against Åtvidaberg. After 20 rounds of play, Malmö FF was in fifth place in the league, four points behind IFK Göteborg in first place. In the next-coming five games, the club won three, drew one and lost one. By 25 rounds the gap to the trio of leading teams had increased to seven points and Malmö FF was now forth, one point ahead of Elfsborg.

With five matches remaining, Malmö FF still had a realistic chance of retaining the title if they won the remaining fixtures. That chance quickly vanished with a goalless draw away at Halmstad and an away loss against fellow title contender AIK in the 27th round. The primary focus for Malmö FF now was to reach a fourth-place finish. After wins against Kalmar and Hammarby in the 28th and 29th round respectively, Malmö FF had a two-point advantage over Elfsborg for fourth place. In the last round, Malmö FF played a home fixture against league leaders IFK Norrköping. A draw would have sufficed for Malmö FF to clinch fourth place, but a motivated Norrköping won the match 2–0 and captured their first league title in 26 years. Since Elfsborg won their last match, Malmö FF ended the season in fifth place.

Svenska Cupen

Malmö FF qualified for the group stage of the 2014–15 Svenska Cupen in the 2014 season by beating IS Halmia 2–1 on 15 November 2014. The club were seeded first in the group stage draw after finishing first in the 2014 Allsvenskan. The groups were drawn on 19 November 2014. Malmö FF drew Jönköpings Södra IF who finished fourth in Superettan for the 2014 season, Assyriska FF who finished 14th in the same league and Hudiksvalls FF who finished second in Division 2 Norrland.

The group stage was played between 22 February and 7 March 2015 before the start of the league season. Malmö FF beat Assyriska 3–0 in the opening group fixture at Malmö IP on 22 February 2015. In the second round, the club travelled to Hudiksvall and won 5–0 on 28 February 2015. In the last group match Malmö FF faced Jönköpings Södra at Malmö IP and won 4–0 on 7 March 2015. These results positioned Malmö FF top of the group table and the club advanced to the quarter-finals.

The quarter finals were drawn on 9 March 2015, Malmö FF were drawn against fellow Allsvenskan team Örebro SK who finished in sixth place last year. Malmö FF were seeded in the drawn and had home advantage for the fixture which was played at Malmö IP on 14 March 2015. Malmö FF lost the fixture 1–0 and were therefore knocked out of the competition.

The draw for the second round of the 2015–16 Svenska Cupen was held on 7 August 2015. Malmö FF were drawn against Götene IF, a side that played in Division 3 Mellersta Götaland, the match was played on 8 November 2015. The fixture was postponed until after the league season since Malmö FF were still active in the qualification campaign for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League. Malmö FF won the match 5–0 and progressed to next season's group stage.
