The draw of the EHF Cup group stage took place on Thursday, 1 December 2016. The 16 teams allocated into four pots were drawn into four groups of four teams. The country protection rule was applied, i.e. two clubs from the same country could not face each other in the same group.{{cite news|title=Göppingen in the group with Midtjylland, Granollers and Porto|url=http://europeancup.eurohandball.com/ehfc/men/2016-17/article/26981/G%C3%B6ppingen+in+the+group+with+Midtjylland%2C+Granollers+and+Porto|access-date=2 December 2016|publisher=European Handball Federation|date=1 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161202170131/http://europeancup.eurohandball.com/ehfc/men/2016-17/article/26981/G%C3%B6ppingen+in+the+group+with+Midtjylland%2C+Granollers+and+Porto|archive-date=2 December 2016|url-status=dead}}

In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays are 11–12 February, 17–19 February, 4–5 March, 11–12 March, 25–26 March, and 1–2 April 2017.

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending order):

1. number of points in matches of all teams directly involved;
2. goal difference in matches of all teams directly involved;
3. higher number of plus goals in matches of all teams directly involved;
4. goal difference in all matches of the group;
5. higher number of plus goals in all matches of the group;

If no ranking can be determined, a decision shall be obtained by drawing lots. Lots shall be drawn by the EHF, if possible in the presence of a responsible of each club.

On 28 November 2016, EHF announced the composition of the group stage seeding pots.{{cite news|title=Defending champions in Pot 1 before Thursday's draw|url=http://europeancup.eurohandball.com/ehfc/men/2016-17/article/26965/Defending+champions+in+Pot+1+before+Thursday%27s+draw|access-date=29 November 2016|publisher=European Handball Federation|date=28 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161129145110/http://europeancup.eurohandball.com/ehfc/men/2016-17/article/26965/Defending+champions+in+Pot+1+before+Thursday%27s+draw|archive-date=29 November 2016|url-status=dead}}
