Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2015 North Carolina Central Eagles football team represented North Carolina Central University as a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) during the 2015 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Led by second-year head coach Jerry Mack, the Eagles compiled an overall record of 8–3 with a mark of 7–1, placing in a three-way tie for the MEAC title with Bethune–Cookman and North Carolina A&T. 2015 was the first season in which the MEAC abstained from the NCAA Division I Football Championship playoffs. Due to a head-to-head loss to Bethune–Cookman and lack of FCS non-conference victories, the Eagles were not invited to the newly-formed Celebration Bowl. North Carolina Central played home games at O'Kelly–Riddick Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.
