The 2015 WTA Tour was the elite professional tennis circuit organised by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) for the 2015 tennis season. The 2015 WTA Tour calendar comprises the Grand Slam tournaments (supervised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the WTA Premier tournaments (Premier Mandatory, Premier 5, and regular Premier), the WTA International tournaments, the Fed Cup (organized by the ITF), and the year-end championships (the WTA Finals and the WTA Elite Trophy). Also included in the 2015 calendar is the Hopman Cup, which is organized by the ITF and does not distribute ranking points.^[3]

Serena Williams won the first three Majors of the year, the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, and was on course for the Grand Slam until she lost in the semifinals of the US Open to Roberta Vinci; Flavia Pennetta went on to win her maiden Major singles title by defeating Vinci in the US Open final. Pennetta then retired from professional tennis at the WTA Finals in Singapore.

This is the complete schedule of events on the 2015 calendar, with player progression documented from the quarterfinals stage.
