The 2016 FC Dallas season was the club's 21st season in existence in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top tier of the United States soccer league system. The club played its home games at Toyota Stadium for the 12th straight year.

The 2016 season was FC Dallas' most successful season ever. They achieved the double by winning both the Supporters' Shield for posting the best regular season record and the U.S. Open Cup, the nation's domestic cup competition. It marked the first time since 2014 where a club earned the double. The Hoops fell short of winning the treble by being eliminated in the conference semifinals of the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs, losing 2–4 on aggregate to the Seattle Sounders FC. Individually, head coach Óscar Pareja was named MLS Coach of the Year,[1] Matt Hedges was named Defender of the Year,[2] and Mauro Díaz and Hedges were named to the MLS Best XI.[3]

In addition to winning the Shield, winning the Open Cup and participating in the MLS Cup Playoffs, Dallas also played in the group stages of the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League, where they managed to win their group. This allowed Dallas to qualify for the knockout rounds of a CONCACAF competition for the first time in their club history. The knockout rounds of the competition will be played during the 2017 FC Dallas season.
