The 2016–17 ACB season is the 34th season of the Spanish basketball league, also called Liga Endesa in its sponsored identity. It started on 30 September 2016 with the first round of the regular season and will finish in June 2017 with the ACB Finals.[1]

Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

A total of 18 or 19 teams were expected to contest the league, including 16 sides from the 2015–16 season and two or three promoted from the 2015–16 LEB Oro. ACB agreed with Ourense Provincia Termal its promotion to this season instead the previous one if it fulfills successfully the requirements.[2]

Teams promoted from LEB Oro

After the resign of RETAbet.es GBC to play in ACB, the ACB offered its place to Quesos Cerrato Palencia and Club Melilla Baloncesto to complete a league of 18 teams.[8] After both teams refused the invitation,[9] the ACB agreed to play a 17-team league.[10] On 27 September 2016, the league confirmed that the two last qualified teams will be relegated to LEB Oro.[11]
