The 2015–16 Gibraltar Second Division will be the third season of second tier football in Gibraltar since the Gibraltar Football Association joined UEFA. The league will be contested by 12 clubs, after the Gibraltar Premier Division expanded to 10 teams.[1]

Gibraltar United are the reigning champions, sealing promotion along with Angels last season.

Format

Twelve teams will compete in the Second Division this season. Teams will play each other twice for a total of 22 matches for each team. It is expected that the Division winner will be promoted while the second-placed team will enter a playoff with the ninth-placed team from the Premier Division.[2]

College 1975 replaced them.
