The 2016–17 National Youth League (also known as the Foxtel National Youth League for sponsorship reasons) is the ninth season of the Australian National Youth League competition. The season utilises the same format used in the 2015–16 season, and is running in parallel with the 2016–17 A-League season.
The league kicked off on 12 November 2016.
The 2016–17 season will use the same format as the 2015–16 season. The season consists of eight games per team plus a Grand Final. The existing ten NYL teams were divided into two conferences of five teams: Conference A consisted of teams from WA, SA, Victoria and Queensland, while teams from ACT and NSW were in Conference B. All teams will play all other teams in their conference on a home and away basis. After the home and away series a Grand Final will be played between the top teams from each conference.
