The 2016–17 ISU Challenger Series was held from September to December 2016. It was the third season of a group of senior-level international figure skating competitions ranked below the Grand Prix series.
Skaters may enter a maximum of three competitions. After the starting orders are drawn for the short segment, skaters are considered as entered even if they withdraw. With the exception of the host, member nations are limited to three entries per discipline at each event.
The International Skating Union requires each Challenger Series competition to include a minimum of three disciplines (from men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing), at least ten countries represented in all disciplines combined, and a minimum number of entries and countries in each discipline.
The 2016–17 series was composed of nine events. The Ukrainian Open was originally scheduled for 9–13 November 2016, as the seventh of ten competitions, but the International Skating Union listed it as cancelled on 20 September.
The ISU Challenger Series rankings were formed by combining the two highest final scores of each skater or duo.
