The 2016 Dutch TT was the eighth round of the 2016 MotoGP season. It was held at the TT Circuit Assen in Assen on 26 June 2016.
It was the first Dutch TT held on Sunday, instead of the traditional Saturday date for the race. Geert Timmer chicane was altered removing the artificial turf and replacing it with higher kerbing. This race marked the first MotoGP class race since the 2006 Portuguese Grand Prix won by a non-factory team and the first race since the 2013 Americas Grand Prix in which all classes won by a new winner. Yamaha's podium streak record was ended for the first time since 2014 Dutch TT
Nakagami's win in Moto2 was the first for a Japanese rider in any GP class since Yuki Takahashi in the 2010 Catalan Grand Prix.
The race, scheduled to be run for 26 laps, was red-flagged after 14 full laps due to heavy rain and was later restarted over 12 laps.
The race, scheduled to be run for 24 laps, was stopped early due to rain.
Jorge Martín was replaced by Albert Arenas after the two Friday practice sessions.
