The 2015 San Jose State Spartans football team represented
San Jose State University in the
2015 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Spartans were led by third-year head coach
Ron Caragher and played their home games at
Spartan Stadium. They were members of the
Mountain West Conference in the West Division. They finished the season 6–7, 4–4 in Mountain West play to finish in a tie for second place in the West Division. Though they finished 5–7 in the regular season, they qualified for a bowl berth due to having the third-highest eligible Academic Progress Rate (APR) after only 77 of the 80 bids for a bowl were filled. This was San Jose's first bowl berth since 2012. The Spartans defeated
Georgia State 27–16 to win the inaugural
Cure Bowl.
