Belarusian Premier League 1995 was the fifth season of top-tier football in Belarus. It started on July 10 and ended on November 6, 1995. Dinamo Minsk were the defending champions.
Team changes from 1994–95 season
Gomselmash Gomel and Lokomotiv Vitebsk, who finished on 15th and 16th places, relegated to Belarusian First League. They were replaced by two newcomers: First League 1994–95 winners MPKC Mozyr and runners-up Ataka-Aura Minsk.
Overview
The championship was played as a single round-robun tournament in the second half of 1995 due to change of the league season from winter to summer starting from 1996. This also was the first season with 3-point system. Dinamo Minsk won the championship for the 5th time in a row and qualified for the next season's UEFA Cup, as the Champions League was limited to 23 highest-ranked European national leagues which didn't include Belarus. The championship runners-up and 1995–96 Cup winners MPKC Mozyr qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup. The bronze medalists Dinamo-93 Minsk also qualified for UEFA Cup. Bobruisk, who finished on the last place, were relegated and eventually dissolved prior the 1996 season.
