The 2016–17 Danish Badminton League was the xxth season of the Danish Badminton League, the Danish team championship in badminton.

Format
Team matches were played in series of six rubbers (individual matches of three games to 21), two in men's singles and one each in women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. If three rubbers were won by both teams, a golden game (Danish: golden sæt) – an additional single-game, 21-point rubber – determined the winner.

The regular season was played as a single round-robin tournament, with three points at stake in each team match. Three points were given for a win and no points for a loss, except in team matches decided by a golden game, where two points were given to the winner and one point to the losing team.

The top eight teams after nine rounds progressed to the play-offs, a single-elimination tournament with teams playing home and away for the first two rounds. Teams in the first two rounds were seeded by their position in the regular season, with the top half of the teams choosing their opponents from the bottom half. The top remaining seed went first, followed by the second-highest and so on. The lower seeded team played at home in the first leg.
