The 2016 Wisconsin Badgers football team represents the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Badgers, led by second year head coach Paul Chryst, are members of the West Division of the Big Ten Conference and play their home games at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.

Wisconsin announced its 2016 football schedule on July 11, 2013. The 2016 schedule consists of 6 home, 5 away, and 1 neutral site game in the regular season. The Badgers will host Big Ten foes Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Ohio State, and will travel to Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Purdue.

The teams three non–conference games are against the Akron Zips from the Mid-American Conference (MAC), Georgia State Panthers from the Sun Belt Conference, and the LSU Tigers from the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

The Associated Press and Coaches' preseason top 25 polls were released in August and for the first time since 2009 the Badgers were unranked in both polls. Meanwhile, the first five of their Power 5 opponents were all ranked 17th or higher in the preseason polls with #5 LSU, #6 Ohio State, #7 Michigan, #12 Michigan State and #17 Iowa.
