The 2016 BC Lions season is the 59th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 63rd overall. The Lions improved upon their 7–11 record from 2015 and qualified for the playoffs for the 20th straight year, which is the second-longest streak in CFL history. The team will attempt to win the franchise's 7th Grey Cup championship. This will be the team's second stint under now ninth-year head coach, Wally Buono, and his 14th season as the general manager. Buono took over the position following Jeff Tedford's resignation on December 2, 2015.
