The 2016–17 West Coast Conference men's basketball season begins with practices on September 30, 2016 and ends with the 2017 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament March 2–7, 2017. The regular season begins on November 11, 2016, with the conference schedule starting December 29, 2016. After an eight-year contract with Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada, the WCC was looking to potentially change its venue to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the T-Mobile Arena, keep it at the Orleans Arena, or move it elsewhere. The WCC announced that it reached an agreement to keep its conference tournament at the Orleans Arena under a new three-year contract, which would run through 2019.
This is the 66th season for WCC men's basketball, and the 28th under its current name of "West Coast Conference". The conference was founded in 1952 as the California Basketball Association, became the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956, and dropped the word "Athletic" in 1989.
After the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, the WCC placed four head coaches. Former Memphis assistant coach Damon Stoudamire replaced Ron Verlin as the head coach at Pacific. Santa Clara released Kerry Keating and hired former Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek. After guiding Columbia to win the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, Kyle Smith took over as head coach at San Francisco, replacing Rex Walters. Portland hired former NBA coach and player Terry Porter as head coach after parting ways with Eric Reveno.

The AP Poll does not do a post-season rankings. As a result, their last rankings are Week 19. The Coaches' Poll does a post-season poll and the end of the NCAA Tournament.
