 For the third consecutive season, Porto failed to win any of the official competitions in which it was involved.The last time the team had at least three successive seasons without winning a trophy was before 1976–77.As in the previous two seasons, Porto did not begin their campaign by playing the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, as they failed to qualify for the 2016 edition by not winning either the 2015–16 Primeira Liga title (retained by Benfica) or the 2015–16 Taça de Portugal (final lost to Braga).
