2016–17 ACB season
Basketball league season
The 2016–17 ACB season , also known as Liga Endesa for sponsorship reasons, was the 34th season of the Spanish basketball league. It started on 30 September 2016 with the first round of the regular season and ended on 16 June 2017 with the ACB Finals.[ 1] Real Madrid was the defending champion, but lost the title to Valencia Basket in the finals, which won its first league ever.
Teams
A total of 18 teams contested the league, including 16 sides from the 2015–16 season and two 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 resignation 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] [ 10] the ACB agreed to play a 17-team league.[ 11] On 27 September 2016, the league confirmed that the two last qualified teams will be relegated to LEB Oro .[ 12]
