### Background information

Rapid Wien finished the 2015–16 season in second place. Therefore, Rapid Wien started in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2016/17 Europa League competition.
This was the first season Rapid played in the Allianz Stadion.
On 7 November 2016, after a 0–1 defeat at home against Wolfsberger AC both manager Mike Büskens and Director of Football Andreas Müller were sacked. Four days later Damir Canadi was presented as the new manager, joining Rapid from league rival SCR Altach. On 11 December, Fredy Bickel was presented as the new Director of Football.
On 9 April 2017, after a 0–3 defeat in Ried manager Damir Canadi was sacked and replaced by his former assistant coaches Goran Djuricin and Martin Bernhard until end of season. Djuricin was later appointed as manager for the following season.

## Austrian Cup
### Austrian Cup review

In a curious turn of events, Rapid played all of its first three games in the Austrian Cup in the Sportklub Stadium in Vienna as neither the home grounds of the opponents had the infrastructure to host the game and the venue of the Linzer Stadion, where Blau-Weiß Linz initially wanted to move, was already occupied at the time with hosting the 2016 World Karate Championships.
