The 2015 WNBA season was the eighteenth season for the San Antonio Stars of the Women's National Basketball Association. The Stars played their home games at Freeman Coliseum due to renovation at AT&T Center.[1] The season tipped off on June 5, on the road against the Phoenix Mercury.[2] The Stars lost that game 71–76 and went on to lose their first six games of the season. Their losses against Tulsa and Minnesota came by double digits. Their sixth and final loss of the streak came in overtime against Chicago. Their first win came on June 25, at home, against Phoenix. They followed that with a defeat of Seattle before losing to Phoenix to end June with a 2–7 record. They started July by losing and then defeating Los Angeles. The Stars then lost all three games of a three game road trip, with the worst loss being a twenty-seven point loss to Minnesota. They broke their streak by defeating Tulsa at home, before losing to Chicago on the road. They defeated Indiana 80–62 and Atlanta 102–85 before losing to Washington 88–53. The Stars ended July 4–6. They started August with three straight losses, before defeating Seattle on August 8. The Stars would not win another game in August, losing six straight games to end the month. The worst loss of the stretch was a thirty-one point loss to Los Angeles. Their August record was 1–10. The losing streak extended into September and reached nine games, as the Stars lost their first three games of September. They only lost by one point to Connecticut during the stretch, but followed that with a thirty-point loss to Phoenix. The Stars ended the season with a 59–58 defeat of Seattle, their only road victory of the season.

Their 8–26 overall record saw them finish in sixth place in the Western Conference, and they did not qualify for the 2015 WNBA playoffs. Their eight total wins were the second lowest in franchise history at the time, only behind their seven wins in 1997 and 2005 .
