The two-legged play-off between the ninth-placed team from the PrvaLiga and the second-placed team from the 2. SNL was played. The winner earned a place in the 2016–17 Slovenian PrvaLiga.
Zavrč won the play-off fixture against Aluminij 4–3 on aggregate, but the club was unsuccessful in obtaining a licence to play in the top division for the next season, due to financial reasons.[4] [5]
After their decision, the Football Association of Slovenia invited Aluminij to join the top division, with the side from Kidričevo accepting the offer.[6] [7]
