# 2015–16 MTK Budapest FC season

The 2015–16 season was Magyar Testgyakorlók Köre Budapest Futball Club's 106th competitive season, 4th consecutive season in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 127th year in existence as a football club. In addition to the domestic league, MTK Budapest participated in this season's editions of the Magyar Kupa and UEFA Europa League.
Csaba László began the season as MTK's new manager after taking over from József Garami, who retired after 11 years in charge and became technical director at the club. Since playing in the Bozsik József Stadion previous season the temporary venue changed to Stadion Rudolf Illovszky due to the construction of the new stadium, Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion. On 3 February, László was sacked as a manager, less than a year into his six-year contract. Vaszilisz Teodoru with Greek descent take charge until the end of the season. Due to the worn condition of the pitch, with Vasas also playing on it week by week, last matches of MTK played at the Dunaújvárosi Stadion.
