UAAP Season 78 is the 2015–2016 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). It opened on September 5, 2015, almost two months after the usual July opening of the league during previous seasons, due to the shift in the academic calendars of the member universities, including Ateneo, La Salle, UP and UST. It will be hosted by the University of the Philippines.[1]

The eight-member universities of the UAAP will be competing in fifteen sports to vie for the general championship title.
