The second competition weekend of the 2015–16 ISU Speed Skating World Cup was held in the Utah Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City, United States, from Friday, November 20, until Sunday, November 22, 2015.

There were six world records over the course of the weekend. On Friday, Pavel Kulizhnikov of Russia shaved another 2/100 off his 500 m world record from the previous weekend. On Saturday, Ted-Jan Bloemen of Canada unexpectedly beat Dutchman Sven Kramer's 10000 m world record from 2007 with more than five seconds, and American Heather Richardson-Bergsma beat compatriot Brittany Bowe's 1500 m world record from the weekend before.

On Sunday, Bowe responded by taking back her 1000 m world record, which she had lost to Richardson the previous weekend. Additionally, both the men's and the women's team sprint records, established only the weekend before, were beaten.

Multiple winners were Kulizhnikov, who won both 500 m races and the 1000 m race, and Zhang Hong of China, who won both women's 500 m races and the team sprint.
