Teams

Sigma Olomouc, the 2014–15 FNL champion, returned to the First League just one season after their relegation. Runner-up FK Varnsdorf were not promoted as their stadium failed to meet the league requirements. Instead, FC Fastav Zlín rejoined the top level for the first time since the 2008–09 season.
