Final Four

The 2016–17 season is the sixth season of the SEHA (South East Handball Association) League and third under the sponsorship of the Russian oil and gas company Gazprom. Ten teams from seven countries (Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, Slovakia and Slovenia) will participate in this year's competition.

Telekom Veszprém are the defending champions. The SEHA League consists of two phases – the first has 18 rounds in which all teams play one home and one away game against each other. After that, the four best ranked clubs play on the Final Four tournament.

The campaign began on 30 August 2016 with the match between last year's runner up Vardar and fourth placed Meshkov Brest. The regular season will end on 14 March 2017, while the host of the Final Four tournament is still to be decided.
