The 2016 season was Loughborough Lightning's first season, in which they competed in the Women's Cricket Super League, a Twenty20 competition. The side finished third in the initial group stage, winning three of their five matches, therefore progressing to the semi-final.[1] However, they lost to Western Storm by five wickets in the semi-final.[2]

The side was partnered with Loughborough University, and played their home matches at the Haslegrave Ground.[3][4] They were coached by Salliann Briggs and captained by Georgia Elwiss.[5]
