- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Results of the games among themselves
- Decision game or coin toss
The two clubs with the most points rose directly to the J1 League 2016 at the end of the season .
The third climber was determined by a tournament in the knockout system over two rounds between the teams in places 3 to 6. Here the third played against the sixth, the fourth competed against the fifth. The higher ranked team enjoyed home rights. In the event of a tie after 90 minutes, the better-ranked club advanced one round. The final took place in the Yanmar Stadium Nagai due to the construction work around the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo , the winner was promoted to Division 1.

Attendees
A total of 22 teams took part in the season. At the end of the 2014 season , Master Shonan left Bellmare after only one year for the J1 League. Shonan was accompanied by runner-up Matsumoto Yamaga FC and promotion playoff winner Montedio Yamagata , who beat JEF United Ichihara Chiba and Júbilo Iwata . Matsumoto and Montedio came into the league together three years ago - Matsumoto as a promoted player from the Japan Football League , Montedio as a relegated player from J.League Division 1 - and now turned their backs on it together.
The three promoted teams were replaced by the three relegated teams from J.League Division 1 2014 , Ōmiya Ardija , Cerezo Osaka and Tokushima Vortis . While Tokushima returned to J2 after only one year in Division 1, Cerezo ended with five and Ōmiya with ten years of significantly longer memberships in the House of Lords.

The team from central Honshu has been replaced by the 2014 J3 League champion , Zweigen Kanazawa . Kamatamare Sanuki was penultimate in the relegation against AC Nagano Parceiro ; after a goalless draw in Nagano, a narrow 1-0 win in the second leg was enough to keep them up.
