Hannover started the season on 5 August 2016 against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[17] Hannover won the match 4–0.[18] Hannover then defeated Greuther Fürth 3–1.[19] The first season loss came on the 4th matchday in a home match against Dynamo Dresden, which they lost 0–2. They recovered with three wins from the next four matches, only to lose two matches in a row against Union Berlin and 1. FC Nürnberg, respectively. From there on until the winter break they remained unbeaten, with four wins and three draws, causing them to spend the break in second place. They started the second half of the season with a 1–0 home win against Kaiserslautern, thereby moving up to first place for the first time since the second matchday.
On 20 March 2017, after only one win in the previous four matches, Hannover 96 sacked coach Daniel Stendel and appointed André Breitenreiter as new head coach.[20]
In the first round draw, Hannover were drawn against Kickers Offenbach,[21] beating them 3–2 after extra time by means of a last-minute penalty goal by Salif Sané. They went on to face Fortuna Düsseldorf in the second round, beating them 6–1, their highest season win. For the round of 16, they were drawn against Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, against who they lost 1–2 after initially taking the lead and were thereby eliminated.
