The 2016–17 season will be Bolton Wanderers's first season in the third tier of English football since 1993 following their relegation from the Football League Championship. Along with Football League One, the club will also compete in the FA Cup, Football League Cup and Football League Trophy.

It will cover the period from 1 July 2016 to June 30, 2017.

Pre-season

On 20 May 2016, Bolton Wanderers announced their English pre-season schedule in full for both the entire squad and an XI squad. They also announced that there would be a training camp and further games abroad.^[1] These games were confirmed on 3 June as being against Danish teams HB Køge and FC Helsingør.^[2] On 17 June the away game at Ashton United was cancelled as the home side's pitch would not be ready.^[3] On 27 June the game at HB Køge was cancelled as it was felt that the date was too early in the pre-season.^[4] The Bolton XI game against Chester on 20 July was also cancelled as it was felt there was not enough first-team players to make up Bolton's team travelling to Tranmere Rovers a day earlier. Due to this, some of the Bolton XI traveled with the first-team for the game and both games were mixtures of first team players and the reserve players.^[5]

Transfers

At the completion of the previous season the club announced that twenty players would not be offered new contracts once their present ones concluded. These players included senior squad members Neil Danns, Stephen Dobbie, Tom Eaves, Liam Feeney, Robert Hall, Emile Heskey, Paul Rachubka, Oscar Threlkeld, David Wheater and Hayden White.^[9] These players were followed out of the club by young defender Tyler Garratt who signed for Doncaster Rovers on 28 June for an undisclosed fee.^[10]

On 1 July, it was reported that the transfer embargo that the club had been under since the previous season was to be at least partially lifted by the Football League^[11] and the day after former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Chris Taylor signed on a free transfer,^[12] followed the following day by Millwall defender Mark Beevers, also on a free transfer.^[13] They were followed on 5 July by Bradford City forward Jamie Proctor, also signed on a free transfer.^[14] Former Sheffield United goalkeeper Mark Howard then signed for the club. David Wheater re-signed on a one-year deal after initially being released at the end of the previous season. He was shortly followed to the club by defender Lewis Buxton after his release from Rotherham United.
