The 2015 Colorado Rapids season was the club's twentieth season of existence, and their twentieth season in Major League Soccer, the top tier of the American and Canadian soccer pyramids. The team began the season with three scoreless matches and were both the final team that failed to register a goal, and the last that did not allowed one. A loss in their fourth match extended their scoreless streak to four, and their winless streak dating back to last season to 18 matches. Both streaks ended on April 10 against FC Dallas, who the Rapids defeated 4–0.
