The 2015–16 curling season began in August 2015 and ended in May 2016.
The season was marked by new innovations in curling broom technology that drastically changed how sweeping was done, leading to the "broomgate" scandal. It forced the major curling bodies to make new rules after the season to regulate and standardize curling brushes.
Note: In events with two genders, the men's tournament winners will be listed before the women's tournament winners.
