They were led by first-year head coach Bruce Barnum and played their home games at Providence Park , with one home game at Hillsboro Stadium . They were a member of the Big Sky Conference . They finished the season 9–3, 6–2 in Big Sky play to finish in a tie for second place; this was the program's first winning season since 2011 . They received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs, the Vikings first appearance in the FCS playoffs since 2000, where they lost in the second round to Northern Iowa.
On October 10, 2015, the Vikings defeated North Texas , 66–7.
