Season summary

Valladolid were unable to improve on the previous season's seventh-place finish and dropped four places down the table. The club's UEFA Cup excursion was short-lived, as they were swiftly eliminated by Russians Spartak Moscow in the second round. As of 2016, this is the last time Valladolid have competed in European competition.
