The 2016–17 Russian Bandy Super League is the 25th season of the present highest Russian men's bandy top division, Russian Bandy Super League. The regular season began on 7 November 2016, and the final was played on 26 March 2016, when SKA-Neftyanik became Russian champion for the first time. In their last match of the regular season, Vodnik Arkhangelsk played against Baykal-Energiya. The loss apparently would make Vodnik facing a weaker team in the playoffs, therefore the team started to score own goals. Baykal-Energiya joined, apparently for fun. Vodnik won 11-9, with all goals scored in the match being own goals. The two teams are facing sanctions from the Russian Bandy Federation.
