The 2015 Ghana Premier League, Ghanaian Premier League (''known as the First Capital Plus Bank Premier League for sponsorship reasons'')
season will be the 56th season of top-tier football in Ghana. The competition was scheduled to begin in late September 2014 or early October 2014, although it did not start until January 2015.
Ashanti Gold SC, Ashanti Gold broke up Asante Kotoko F.C., Asante Kotoko's run of dominance with their first league title (They had previously won three under the name Goldfields).
Asante Kotoko entered the league having won the last three titles and 24 total dating back to 1959. There was little drama concerning the championship as Ashanti Gold held first place for 29 of the 30 rounds this season, only briefly falling to second in Round 4, and clinching the title with a week to go.
There was considerable drama in the race to avoid relegation as eight teams were still in danger of falling into the bottom three on the final day of the season (BA Stars, Brong Ahafo Stars had sealed their fate several weeks earlier). Accra Great Olympics F.C., Great Olympics got the win they needed, 2-1 over Ashanti Gold, but didn't get the help they needed to climb out of the bottom three as five other teams ahead of them won or drew. Heart of Lions F.C., Heart of Lions was the other club to be relegated, falling from ninth to 14th with the season-ending 4-2 loss at New Edubiase United FC, New Edubiase. Brong Ahafo Stars, Great Olympics and Heart of Lions will all play in Ghana Football Leagues, Division One for the 2015-16 season.
