For the second time in recent years, Malmö FF won back to back league titles, claiming their 20th Swedish championship. The club had previously won back to back titles in 2013 and 2014. Magnus Pehrsson was appointed new head coach after the departure of Allan Kuhn at the end of last season. The club failed to repeat the UEFA Champions League group stage success of previous years, exiting the competition at the first hurdle in the second qualifying round against Macedonian club FK Vardar.
