It began on 21 February and ended on 1 November. Before the beginning of the season, talks with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) concerning the expansion of the top tier to 18 teams fell through. While the KPL continued with its agenda for the season, the FKF created a parallel top division called the FKF Premier League (FKF PL), consisting of 18 teams. In March, an agreement was reached to maintain, for the 2015 season, the KPL as the top division with the FKF PL as the second tier. A total of 16 teams competed for the Kenyan Premier League, all returning from the 2014 season. Nairobi City Stars and Top Fry AllStars were not replaced as membership for the FKF Premier League was drawn from majority of the teams from the 2014 Kenyan National Super League, including those that were to be promoted to the Kenyan Premier League.
