The 2015-16 season is the club's '''96th season''' in existence. The club had won the '''Calcutta Football League''' this season and became the runners of 2015 [[Sheikh Kamal International Club Cup]].

==Pre-Season Overview==
The club signed [[Do Dong-hyun]], a South Korean attacking mid-fielder to support the stricking part.
With the arrival of veteran defender [[Bello Razaq]] from [[Mohun Bagan]], the team became stronger and the '''Red and Gold Brigade''' are hoping to seal the '''CFL''' championship and set another hexa record.
With the help of recent performances, The Club clinched to the '''74th spot''' in the recent [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] Club Ranking, the highest among all Indian football clubs.

==Season Overview==

===August===
The club started their '''Calcutta Football League''' campaign on 8 August by beating [[SVF Tollygunge Agragami FC]] by '''1-0'''. In the next match, against [[Aryan F.C.]], the club managed a draw, the only draw of this '''CFL''' campaign. Then they went on winning all the matches against [[Bengal Nagpur Railway]], Army XI, [[Mohammedan S.C. (Kolkata)]], Police AC and [[Sports Authority of India]].

===September===
Maintaining their winning streak of August, '''East Bengal''' started their September by beating [[Kalighat Milan Sangha F.C.]] by 4-3. This fixture was their toughest in this campaign as at a time, the team was trailing by 0-2 and then they managed to win it. 
The next fixture of the club was a prestigious [[Kolkata Derby]] against their arch rivals [[Mohun Bagan]] in which the team managed an easy 4-0 win with two stunning free kicks by [[Do Dong-hyun]], the top scorer of the club, one of which came in just after 82 seconds from the kick off. This win sealed their league victory and their 118th win against their arch rivals. Moreover, it was the club's 6th consecutive CFL championship which is itself a record and they hold a similar 6 consecutive CFL League wins between the period 1970-75. 
The last fixture was against [[Southern Samity]] on 10 September. '''East Bengal''' with their reserved squad managed to win it and became the unbeatable champions of this CFL. [[Do Dong-hyun]] became the top scorer of both the club and the '''CFL'''.

===October===
The club went to play an international tournament in Bangladesh named 2015 Sheikh Kamal International Club Cup. The team draw set '''East Bengal''' in Group B on the fixture of this tour. Due to the absence of almost all the main and first team players of the club (all out on loan in different clubs of [[Indian Super League]]), the junior and reserve bench players had taken part in it. The club brought [[Orok Essien]] and [[Subodh Kumar]] on loan for the tournament. '''East Bengal''' started off well by defeating Bangladesh club [[Abahani Limited (Chittagong)]] by 2-1 on 21st Oct 2015. Young '''Prohlad''' scored on the match along with [[Mohammed Rafique (footballer)|Mohammed Rafique]]. After that the most important player of midfield, [[Do Dong-hyun]], had a knee injury which couldn't let him play for the rest of the tour. The club kept on its winning streak by defeating the current best club of Pakistan [[K-Electric F.C.]] by a comfortable margin of 3-1. Then the club had its first draw of the tournament which was against [[Abahani Limited (Dhaka)]]. Then the club went into the semis where they defeated (on 28th oct 2015) [[Mohammedan Sporting Club (Dhaka)]] by 3-0 to enter into the final. [[Ranti Martins]] scored a couple on the semis. On 30th Oct 2015, '''East Bengal FC''' played the final against [[Abahani Limited (Chittagong)]] once again after the very first match. But the young brigade could not seal the victory at the end in spite of taking a lead on the 9th minute by the goal scored by [[Avinabo Bag]]. This time '''East Bengal''' lost to the Bangladeshi club by 1-3. The brilliant performance of the junior players throughout the tournament came to an end with the defeat in final match. But the fight of the junior brigade were appreciated whole heartedly by the supporters of the club.
