2016 VAFA season
Date	9 April − 18 September 2016
Teams	70
Matches played	641
←  2015 2017  →

The 2016 VAFA season was the 116th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria. ^[1] The season began on 9 April and concluded on 18 September, with 70 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system. ^[2]

Background

On 1 July 2016, the VAFA announced it would make changes to the structures of Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4 following a review in order to ensure a "competitive and fair fixture" for the 2017 season. ^[3]

• Division 2: Two clubs promoted to Division 1, one relegated to Division 3
• Division 3: Two clubs promoted to Division 2, three relegated to Division 4
• Division 4: Two clubs promoted to Division 3

Association membership

In early 2016, Glen Eira and the Monash Gryphons announced their intention to merge for the 2016 season. ^[4] This ultimately did not occur and the clubs remained separate entities, with Glen Eira competing in Division 3 while Monash participated in the Club XVIII competition. ^[5] The clubs would later amalgamate to form the Glen Eira Gryphons for the 2017 season. ^[6]

Name changes

The Northern Blues changed its name to Preston Bullants Amateur Football Club, and NOBs/St Pat's was renamed to Brunswick NOBSPC. ^{[7] [8] [9]}
