# 2016–17 Borussia Dortmund season

The 2016–17 Borussia Dortmund season was the 106th season (and 107th overall year) in the football club's history and the 41st consecutive and 50th overall season in the top flight of German football, the Bundesliga, having been promoted from the 2. Bundesliga in 1976.
In addition to the domestic league, Borussia Dortmund also participated in this season's editions of the domestic cup, the DFB-Pokal, and the first-tier continental cup, the UEFA Champions League. This was the 44th season for the club in the Westfalenstadion, located in Dortmund, Germany. The stadium had a capacity of 81,360 for Bundesliga matches, and 65,851 for continental matches. The season covered a period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.
The season was the first since 2006–07 without Mats Hummels, who departed to FC Bayern Munich, though he later returned to Dortmund for the 2019–20 season.
