The 2016 season is Clube Atlético Mineiro's 108th in existence and tenth consecutive season in the top-flight of Brazilian football. Along with the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the Campeonato Mineiro, the club will also compete in the Copa Libertadores, the Copa do Brasil and the Primeira Liga.
Atlético Mineiro finished as runner-up in the previous season's Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and qualified to the 2016 Copa Libertadores. Levir Culpi, the head coach for most of 2015, mutually terminated its contract in the end of that year, being replaced by Uruguayan Diego Aguirre, who took charge in January 2016. Atlético took part in Florida Cup, a pre-season competition in the US, which it won.
