The <entity_0> (known as the Tusker Premier League and thereafter the SportPesa Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the twelfth season of the <entity_1> since it began in 2003, and the 52nd season of top-division football in <entity_5> since 1963. A total of <entity_3> teams competed for the <entity_1>, all returning from the <entity_4>. Gor Mahia will represent <entity_5> in the preliminary round of the 2016 CAF Champions League and will play against the <entity_2> FKF President's Cup champions at the 2016 Kenyan Super Cup. Towards the end of the <entity_4>, the FKF proposed that the Premier League should be expanded to 18 teams from <entity_3> for the upcoming season, though KPL management insisted that the <entity_2> season would continue with <entity_3> teams. On <entity_2>, Nyamweya announced that the <entity_0> season was set to kick off on the second week of February, adding that the FKF was "working hard to ensure all matters are settled as soon as possible". Following a KPL Governing Council meeting held on <entity_2>, the KPL announced four days later that the league was set to begin on 21 February with <entity_3> teams, with fixtures to be reviewed and approved at a meeting to be held in early February. In the FIFA report that was finally sent to KPL chairman Ambrose Rachier, it emerged that FIFA had recommended that the KPL continue to be competed by <entity_3> teams for the <entity_2> season and that the KPL remain the official body to run the Kenyan top flight on behalf of the FKF. After the court injunction was extended in a hearing on 5 March, the High Court of <entity_5> allowed the league to continue operations through a ruling delivered on <entity_3>. On 23 March, a FIFA delegation assigned to the case, led by Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi, announced its support for the <entity_3>-team <entity_1> but suggested that the league be contested by 18 teams from 2016 onwards. On <entity_2>, the Sports Journalists' Association of <entity_5> (SJAK), in partnership with the league's sponsors SportPesa, launched the KPL Player of the Month award to be given to the best performing player over each month, selected by a panel consisting of members of the SJAK.
