Hull Kingston Rovers 2015 season is their 134th season in existence, and their 9th competing in the Super League. The Robins made a host of changes to the playing staff for the 2015 season, bringing in 13 new players,[1] and releasing 18.

The 2015 season is Head Coach Chris Chester's first full season in charge, after replacing Craig Sandercock midway through last season.[2] It sees the addition of two new assistant coaches to support the rookie Head Coach, firstly, experienced Assistant Willie Poaching from the Warrington Wolves,[3] and secondly, rookie Assistant Coach David Hodgson, who takes up the duties after retiring from playing at the end of the 2014 season.[4] These new Assistants replace the outgoing Stanley Gene, who moved to permanently take up the position of Head Coach at the Newcastle Thunder[5] at the end of the 2014 season, and the position previously occupied by Chester himself.

2015 also sees the promotion of halfback and U-19's player of the year Matty Marsh to the first team squad.[6]
