The 2015–16 season is Beitar Jerusalem's 47th season in the Israeli Premier League. The club's owner Eli Tabib in June said he would sell the team to someone that will invest money in the club. However, he later changed his mind and decided to continue investing in the squad and not abandon the team. Beitar then signed eight players in pre-season: Liroy Zhairi , Nes Zamir , Dovev Gabay , Uri Magbo , Daniel Askling , Vlad Morar , Nisso Kapiloto , Pablo de Lucas and Jesus Rueda.
