The 2016 K League Challenge was the fourth season of the K League 2, the second-highest division in the South Korean football league system. Originally, K League Challenge champions could be promoted to the K League Classic, but Ansan Mugunghwa lost its qualification for the promotion after Ansan Government decided to break up with police football team from next year.{{cite news |url=https://m.khan.co.kr/sports/football/article/201607152155015#c2b |script-title=ko:안산 ‘무궁화’와 결별 추진…‘1부리그 승격’은 누가 하나 |publisher=Kyunghyang |lang=ko |date=2016-07-15 |access-date=2023-05-10}} Runners-up Daegu FC directly qualified for the Classic instead of champions Ansan Mugunghwa, and third, fourth and fifth-placed team advanced to the promotion playoffs.
