The 2015–16 season was Olympique Lyonnais's 66th professional season since its creation in 1950.

Players

French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.

Notes:
  1. Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Europa League group stage by winning the 2015–16 Coupe de France, and for the Europa League third qualifying round by winning the 2015–16 Coupe de la Ligue. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spots awarded to the cup winners was passed down the league.
