Participating clubs

At the end of the 2014–15 season, Campus Promete and CB Al-Qazeres Extremadura were relegated to Liga Femenina 2. Likewise, CREF ¡Hola! and Plenilunio Distrito Olímpico promoted. However, only the first one managed to gather the requirements for registration, therefore Campus Promete was offered the vacant spot.
