The
Apertura tournament is the first half of the 2015–16 season. It began on 1 August with a 1–0
C.D. Victoria's win over
Platense F.C. at
Estadio Nilmo Edwards.
Juticalpa F.C.'s first ever
Liga Nacional game occurred on 9 August with great success for the debs as they managed to beat
Real C.D. España with a 2–0 score. This game also served as the first ever official game at recently opened stadium
Juan Ramón Brevé Vargas. On 30 August,
C.D.S. Vida defeated
Club Deportivo Olimpia with a 2–3 away score for the first time after 21 years at
Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino. That Olimpia's defeat represented their first time losing three consecutive games playing in
Tegucigalpa since
2001 and their worst season start ever with a 1–0–4 record at the moment. On 7 September, Juticalpa's
Roger Espinoza became the first coach to be sacked due to poor results. On 12 September, Vida's defender
Elder Torres broke an all-time record against
C.D. Motagua for being sent off after only 8 seconds of kickoff in a match played at Tegucigalpa. That same night, Olimpia's coach
Héctor Vargas reached his 400 game as a manager in the Honduran Liga Nacional since his debut in
1998. On 26 September, manager
Ramón Maradiaga coached his last game with Vida leading his team in a 2–0 victory over
C.D. Real Sociedad as he was hired by the
El Salvador national football team on their quest to the
2018 FIFA World Cup. On 4 October,
Malian defender
Mamadou Traoré became the first African player to score a goal in the history of the league in the Platense's 2–1 win over Vida. On 7 October, Marathón's president
Yankel Rosenthal was arrested in
Miami after the
United States Department of Justice released a statement saying that he, as well as his uncle
Jaime Rosenthal and cousin
Yani Rosenthal were labeled "specially designated narcotics traffickers" under the Kingpin Act. On 6 November,
C.D. Honduras Progreso clinched their first ever regular season title after defeating 1–0 Marathón at
Estadio Humberto Micheletti. On 14 November, Motagua defeated Real España 7–1 at Tegucigalpa setting a record as the largest victory against them; representing also, the worst regular season finish for Real España with only 15 points of 54 possible (27.78%). On 10 December, international
midfielder and Olimpia player
Arnold Peralta was shot dead by a gunman in
La Ceiba, five days after playing his last game in the semifinals. On 19 December, Honduras Progreso lifted their first league title after defeating Motagua on penalty shootouts after a 4–4 aggregate.
