Competition format

Twenty-eight teams participated in the competition, divided in four groups. Groups A and B were played with eight teams each, in a round robin, home and away format. The top team in each group qualified directly for the quarter-finals, the bottom two in each group dropped out of the competition and the remaining 10 teams qualified for the first knock-out phase.

In groups C and D, six teams played in each group in a round robin format, playing both home and away. The top two teams in each group then met in a ‘semi-final’ play-off, with the two winners going through to the first knock-out phase. The remaining teams dropped out of the competition.

;Knock-out Phase 1 (Last 16)

12 teams played home and away in the first knock-out phase, with the 10 teams qualified from groups A and B and the two teams qualified from groups C and D.

;Knock-out Phase 2 (Quarterfinals)

The six winners of the matches in the first knock-out phase joined with the winners of groups A and B to play home and away for the right to play in the Velux EHF Final4.

;Final four

The culmination of the season, the Velux EHF Final4, continued in its existing format, with the four top teams from the competition competing for the title.

The draw for the group stage was held on 1 July 2016 at 13:00 in the Vienna city centre. The 28 teams were drawn into four groups, two containing eight teams (Groups A and B) and two containing six teams (Groups C and D). The only restriction is that teams from the same national association could not face each other in the same group. Since Germany qualified three teams, the lowest seeded side (Kiel) was drawn with one of the other two.{{cite web|url=http://www.ehfcl.com/men/2016-17/article/26261/Familiar+faces+for+Kielce%2C+while+other+powerhouses+collide+in+Group+A|title=Familiar faces for Kielce, while other powerhouses collide in Group A|date=1 July 2016|work=ehfcl.com}}

In each group, teams played against each other in a double round-robin format, with home and away matches.

After completion of the group stage matches, the knockout stage was determined in the following manner:

Groups A and B – the top team qualified directly for the quarterfinals, and the five teams ranked 2nd–6th advanced to the first knockout round.
Groups C and D – the top two teams from both groups contested a playoff to determine the last two sides joining the 10 teams from Groups A and B in the first knockout round.

In the group stage, teams were ranked according to points (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). After completion of the group stage, if two or more teams scored the same number of points, the ranking was determined as follows (article 4.3.1, section II of regulations):{{cite web\|title=VELUX EHF Champions League – Season 2015/16 – Regulations\|url=http://ebook.eurohandball.com/2015-regulations-MCL/6_2015_16_MCLRegulations_FINAL.pdf\|publisher=EHF\|access-date=27 September 2015\|format=PDF}} Highest number of points in matches between the teams directly involved Superior goal difference in matches between the teams directly involved Highest number of goals scored in matches between the teams directly involved (or in the away match in case of a two-team tie) Superior goal difference in all matches of the group Highest number of plus goals in all matches of the group If the ranking of one of these teams was determined, the above criteria were consecutively followed until the ranking of all teams was determined. If no ranking was determined, a decision was to be obtained by EHF through drawing of lots. During the group stage, only criteria 4–5 applied to determine the provisional ranking of teams.
