Format

The eight teams play each other twice for a total of 14 matches per team. After that the top six teams play the championship round and the bottom two teams play the qualification round.^[1]

In the championship round, each of the six teams play each other twice. Points accumulated at the regular season are halved and added the points from this round. The champion and runners-up qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League.^[1]

In the qualification round, the two bottom teams of the regular season are joined by the top four teams of the Kvinde 1. division, each of the six teams play each other twice. All teams start this round on 0 points, the top two teams qualify to 2016–17 Elitedivisionen and the remaining four teams qualify to the 2016–17 Kvinde 1. division.^[1]

Teams

There were 8 teams competing in the regular season of the league: the 6 teams from the previous season's championship play-offs, and the top 2 teams from the previous season's qualification play-offs. The two teams promoted from the qualification play-offs were Vejle, keeping their Elitedivisionen spot, and ASA Fodbold, winning promotion from the 1st Division. The two teams relegated from Elitedivisionen were Team Viborg and Vorup. The B.93/HIK/Skjold association dissolved at the start of the 2014–15 season, thus only 5 teams participated in the qualification play-offs.^[2] While the league was reduced from 10 to 8 participating teams, only two clubs were relegated as Vejle stayed in the league and B.93/HIK/Skjold dissolved and withdrew from the league.
