The 2015 Latvian Higher League is the 24th season of top-tier football in Latvia.
[1] FC Jūrmala relegated at the end of last season, and was replaced by FB Gulbene, which returned to the highest level after two years.
Because FC Daugava did not obtain a license to play in the 2015 Higher League, and FK Daugava was dissolved before the beginning of the new season, the league started with 8 participants.
On 3 June 2015, FB Gulbene was expelled from the top league and their results expunged on suspicion of match-fixing.
[2] The 7th-placed side will face the runners-up of the 2015 Latvian First League in a two-legged play-off, with the winner being awarded a spot in the 2016 Higher League competition.
