The 2015–16 Incarnate Word Cardinals men's basketball team represented the University of the Incarnate Word during the 2015–16 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The Cardinals were led by tenth year head coach Ken Burmeister and played their home games at McDermott Convocation Center.

[1] During year three, the Cardinals played a normal conference schedule.

Although Incarnate Word was classified as a Division I school for scheduling purposes in years two through four and can win the regular season conference title, they cannot participate in the conference tournament until the 2017–18 season at which time they will also be able to enter the NCAA Tournament, should they win the conference.

KUIW Radio also produced a student media broadcast for each non-televised home game, that was to be available online, and they were to provide streaming of all non-televised home games to be shown via UIW TV.
