Den Bosch and BSW were both close to bankruptcy in the offseason, but managed to stay alive. Challenge Sports Rotterdam changed its name to Forward Lease Rotterdam, after they got a new main sponsor. On November 1, Den Bosch changed its name to New Heroes.{{Cite web |url=http://www.newheroesbasketball.com/news/newheroescom-nieuwe-hoofdsponsor/ |title=NEWHEROES.COM NIEUWE HOOFDSPONSOR |access-date=2016-11-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104015543/http://www.newheroesbasketball.com/news/newheroescom-nieuwe-hoofdsponsor/ |archive-date=2016-11-04 |url-status=dead }}
