The 2016–17 ABA League was the 16th season of the ABA League, with 14 teams from Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Macedonia participating in it. It started on September 29, 2016 with the first round of the regular season and the regular season ended on March 13, 2017 followed by playoffs of the four best placed teams. The Play-offs were played from March 18 till April 13, 2017. Crvena zvezda won its third ABA League championship, after beating Cedevita 3–0 in the Finals.

The numbers of teams by country is determined by a coefficient that is the sum of all victories clubs from a certain country achieve in a regular season divided by the number of clubs from that country. By using this coefficient majority of places for current season are allocated, while the remaining places are given via wild cards from league board.

On 25 July 2016 the Adriatic Basketball Association agreed to expel Union Olimpija and Helios Suns as the first was not able to fulfill the financial obligations required and the second did not follow the position of all the clubs of the Association in the FIBA-Euroleague controversy. Finally, Union Olimpija was re-admitted in the league and Macedonian runner-up Karpoš Sokoli replaced Helios Suns.
