Teams
FC Petrocub Hîncești, runners-up of the 2014–15 "A" Division, promoted to the National Division for the first time since the 2002–03 season.

The champions of the 2014–15 "A" Division, FC Sheriff-2, are not allowed to play in the same league as the first Sheriff team, and thus were not promoted.
