Dortmund also progressed to the round of 16 in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League before being knocked out by Juventus. This season, Dortmund only qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, the second-tier continental cup. They entered the competition in the third qualifying round. If they advance from this round, they must also get through the play-off round before qualifying for the group stage. Last season, Dortmund ended up as runners-up of the DFB-Pokal after losing to VfL Wolfsburg. Dortmund will begin the season with new coach Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Jürgen Klopp.

They played in two friendlies against Kawasaki Frontale in Japan on 7 July and Johor Darul Ta'zim (Southern Tigers) in Malaysia on 9 July. They then returned to Germany to face VfL Bochum on 17 July before heading to Bad Ragaz in Switzerland for a training camp. This took place from 19–26 July. They faced FC Luzern on 21 July and Juventus on 25 July, the team who knocked them out of the previous edition of the Champions League. After the Swiss training camp, they returned to Germany.
