The 2016–17 EFL Trophy, known as the Checkatrade Trophy for sponsorship reasons,{{cite web|url=http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016/checkatrade-check-in-as-trophy-title-sponsor-3225432.aspx|title=EFL Trophy: Checkatrade check in as trophy title sponsor|publisher=English Football League|date=4 August 2016}} was the 36th season in the history of the competition and the first since being rebranded from Football League Trophy. It was played as a knock-out tournament for English football clubs in League One and League Two of the English football system and for the first time was expanded to include 16 Premier League and Championship "B Teams" with Category One status as part of a trial.
In all, 64 clubs entered the competition. Barnsley were the reigning champions,{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35906363|title=Johnstone's Paint Trophy final: Barnsley 3-2 Oxford United|first=Phil|last=Cartwright|publisher=BBC}} but were ineligible to defend their title following promotion to the Championship.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36352352|title=Barnsley 3-1 Millwall|first=Rob|last=Wembley|publisher=BBC Sport}}
Change in format
On 9 June 2016, the newly rebranded EFL announced that the 2016–17 EFL Trophy competition would include sixteen "category 1 Premier League academy sides" for the first time. The first knockout round would also be replaced with a new group stage, the sixteen regional groups each to comprise three League One/Two teams plus an academy side, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the knockout second round.{{cite news|title=Premier League trial for the trophy|url=http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016/premier-league-trial-for-the-trophy-3140598.aspx|access-date=13 June 2016|agency=EFL|date=9 June 2016}}
Following the EFL's announcement of these format changes, many of the invited clubs declined to allow their academies to participate,{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=Alan|title=Premier League clubs to opt out of revamped EFL Trophy|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jul/08/premier-league-clubs-opt-out-of-revamped-english-football-league-trophy|access-date=31 August 2016|work=The Guardian|date=8 July 2016}} and their places had to filled by the academy sides of several Championship clubs.
Reception to the new format by League One and Two fans was overwhelmingly negative.{{cite news|last1=Shepka|first1=Phil|title=EFL Trophy: 'Overwhelming majority' against Premier League under-21 sides joining|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36530076|access-date=15 June 2016|agency=BBC Sport|date=14 June 2016}} The opening rounds of fixtures were marked by record low attendances,{{cite news|title=Checkatrade Trophy: Low crowds & manager cameos|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37226544|access-date=31 August 2016|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=30 August 2016}} and the format changes were described as "a complete and utter failure".{{cite news|last1=Ashdown|first1=John|title=The revamped EFL Trophy is a complete and utter failure – and here’s why|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/nov/08/efl-trophy-football-league-failure|access-date=10 November 2016|work=The Guardian|date=8 November 2016}}
