2016–17 UEFA Champions League#Second qualifying round

A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations were expected to participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being Liechtenstein, which did not organise a domestic league, and Kosovo, whose participation was not accepted in their first attempt as UEFA members). The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/35/87/89/2358789_DOWNLOAD.pdf|title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2016/17 Season|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=4 March 2016}}

• Associations 1–3 each had four teams qualify.
• Associations 4–6 each had three teams qualify.
• Associations 7–15 each had two teams qualify.
• Associations 16–54 (except Liechtenstein) each had one team qualify.
• The winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League and 2015–16 UEFA Europa League were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league. Because a maximum of five teams from one association can enter the Champions League, if both the Champions League title holders and the Europa League title holders were from the same top three ranked association and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association would be moved to the Europa League.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2215121.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150228084925/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2215121.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 28, 2015|title=How the Europa League winners will enter the Champions League|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=27 February 2015}} For this season:
• The winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid, qualified through their domestic league, meaning the additional entry for the Champions League title holders was not necessary.
• The winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, Sevilla, did not qualify through their domestic league, meaning the additional entry for the Europa League title holders was necessary.

For the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2015 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2015/index.html|title=Country coefficients 2014/15|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations}}{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method4/crank2015.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2015|publisher=Bert Kassies|access-date=2014-12-25|archive-date=2015-05-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150516182756/http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2015.html|url-status=dead}}

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

The draw for the group stage was held on 25 August 2016, at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.{{cite web |title=UEFA Champions League group stage draw |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/draws/2017/2000783/ |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |access-date=13 June 2016 }} The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (introduced starting 2015–16 season):{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29562047|title=Champions League: Domestic title winners to receive top-seed status|publisher=BBC Sport|date=9 October 2014}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0220-0e15f38d3608-4437365f0e2f-1000--champions-bonus-for-group-stage-draw/|title=Champions' bonus for group stage draw|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=24 April 2015}}

• Pot 1 contained the title holders and the champions of the top seven associations based on their 2015 UEFA country coefficients.
• Pot 2, 3 and 4 contained the remaining teams, seeded based on their 2016 UEFA club coefficients.

In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The group winners and runners-up advance to the round of 16, while the third-placed teams enter the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League round of 32. The matchdays are 13–14 September, 27–28 September, 18–19 October, 1–2 November, 22–23 November, and 6–7 December 2016.

The youth teams of the clubs that qualify for the group stage also play in the 2016–17 UEFA Youth League on the same matchdays, where they compete in the UEFA Champions League Path (the youth domestic champions of the top 32 associations compete in a separate Domestic Champions Path until the play-offs).

A total of 17 national associations are represented in the group stage. Leicester City and Rostov made their debut appearances in the group stage.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0230-0e94c63fd373-c31928c9142f-1000--champions-league-group-stage-number-crunching/|title=Champions League group stage number crunching|website=UEFA.org|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=24 August 2016}} For the first time since the 2002–03 edition, England's Chelsea did not qualify for the group stage.

{{main|2016–17 UEFA Champions League knockout phase}}

In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis, except for the one-match final. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

• In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
• In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association can be drawn against each other.
