The 2015–16 Primera División de Fútbol Profesional season (also known as the Liga Pepsi) is the 18th season and 35th and 36th tournament of El Salvador's Primera División since its establishment of an Apertura and Clausura format. Isidro Metapán and Santa Tecla were the defending champions of the Apertura and Clausura, respectively. The league will consist of 12 teams. There will be two seasons conducted under identical rules, with each team playing a home and away game against the other clubs for a total of 22 games per tournament. At the end of each half-season tournament, the top 8 teams in that tournament's regular season standings will take part in the playoffs. The champions of Apertura and Clausura will both qualify for the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League. Should the same team win both tournaments, the runners-up with the best aggregate record will qualify for the Champions League.
Team information[]
A total of 12 teams will contest the league, including 9 sides from the Clausura 2014 and 3 promoted from the 2014–15 Segunda División.
The 2015 season features the addition of two extra sides from the Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño. These were decided based on how good the club infrastructure, fan base and lastly if they secured the 100,000 dollar Primera División license [1]
C.D. Atlético Marte were relegated to 2015–16 Segunda División the previous season.
The relegated team was replaced by the 2014–15 Segunda División playoffs promotion winner. Real Destroyer won the Clausura 2015 title, this led to take part of the promotion playoffs along with the Apertura 2014 champions side C.D. Guadalupano. Real Destroyer won the playoffs by the score of 5–2.
Promotion and relegation[]
Promoted from Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño as of June, 2015.
- Champions: Real Destroyer
Relegated to Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño as of June, 2015.
- Last Place: Atlético Marte (However, purchased new spot in the Primera División)
Franchises[]
The 2015–16 Primera División de Fútbol Profesional season features the increase of two additional sides, Atlético Marte and C.D. Chalatenango. Both clubs were the only teams that nominated themselves (which included a 100,000 payment) and as such were accepted.
Further Changes[]
Real Destroyer later sold their spot to C.D. Sonsonate for 75,000 dollars.[2]
Firpo purchased the spot of Juventud Independiente after the end of the Apertura season. Although the club will play under their own colours, flags, jersey, stadium, coaching staff, directors and players, they were forced to be registered under the name and have the same points as Juventud Independiente.[3]

Notes:
Positions by round[]
This table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve the chronological evolution, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 3, but then postponed and played between days 6 and 7, it will be added to the standings for day 6.
List of foreign players in the league[]
This is a list of foreign players in the 2015–16 season. The following players:
- Have played at least one game for the respective club.
- Have not been capped for the El Salvador national football team on any level, independently from the birthplace
A new rule was introduced this season, that clubs can have five foreign players per club (though two have to be from Central America) and can only add a new player if there is an injury or a player/s is released.
