This season, the league had a different format. After the eight best teams qualified for the Playoffs, the winners of the series would play in a Final Four tournament.
Hapoel Jerusalem was the defending champion. Hapoel failed to reclaim its title, because Maccabi Rishon LeZion won in the Final. It was the first championship ever for Rishon LeZion.
Maccabi Kiryat Gat has been promoted to the league after winning 2014–15 National League. Hapoel Gilboa Galil, who finished last season, relegated from the Super League.
