The 2015 Grand Rapids Dragons season was the 2nd season of the franchise in the United Furry Football League (UFFL). After failing to make the playoffs in the first season, the Dragons bounced back and secured first place in the Continental Conference with a playoff berth.

The Dragons received the 1st overall draft pick and chose running back Jean-Etienne Tremblay, who was effective immediately. Chicago's 28 interceptions and 426 points scored led the league in 2015.
