New Japan Pro-Wrestling established the New Beginning event series as an annual winter pay-per-view tradition, previously staging six editions under the banner. The Osaka edition had been introduced the prior year as a dedicated local showcase for the promotion's growing fan base in the city.
On February 11, 2015, NJPW held The New Beginning in Osaka at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, presenting ten professional wrestling matches, four of which were championship contests. The event was broadcast on TV Asahi in Japan and streamed globally via the NJPW World online service.
The event continued NJPW's expansion of its New Beginning brand and its strategy of distributing content internationally through NJPW World. Holding four title matches on one card reinforced the promotion's practice of concentrating high-stakes bouts within its winter touring cycle.
