The 2016–17 Premier League International Cup was the third season of the Premier League International Cup, a European club football competition organised by the Premier League for under-23 players.
Villarreal were the defending champions, having defeating PSV 4–2 in the previous season's final, but were eliminated in the group stage.
Twelve teams in Premier League 2 were invited to represent England in the tournament, while European teams that qualify for the knockout stages were guaranteed an invite for the following season's competition. Valencia, Feyenoord, Sparta Prague, Dinamo Zagreb, Wolfsburg, and Hertha BSC were the new international entrants in the 2016–17 season.
The draw for the group stage was held on 28 July 2016. The teams were drawn into four groups, each containing two English sides and two European sides.
