The 2016–17 season wasMiddlesbrough's fifteenth season in thePremier League, their first since relegation in the2008–09 season, after gaining promotion theprevious season in their 141st year in existence.^[2] Along with the Premier League, the club also competed in theFA Cup andEFL Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.

Middlesbrough's long-awaited return to the top flight proved to be disastrous, as the team struggled to score goals all season, despite boasting a strong defensive record compared to other teams in the bottom half of the table. Their total of 27 goals scored throughout the season was the lowest in the Premier League, leading to managerAitor Karanka's dismissal in March. Caretaker managerSteve Agnew could not improve the team's fortunes as they were relegated back to theChampionship on 8 May 2017 following their 3–0 away defeat toChelsea, who would go on to become champions.^[3]

As of 2 February 2017.^[4]
