The 2015–16 Detroit Red Wings season was the 90th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on September 25, 1926. The regular season began on October 9, 2015, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and former Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock, with a 4–0 victory. This season saw the Red Wings extend their playoff streak to 25 straight seasons, the longest in North American professional sports at the time. However, this would be the final season of that quarter-century at or near the top of the league for the franchise, and as of 2025, this remains the most recent season in which the Red Wings have made the playoffs.
