2016–17 FC Crotone season

The 2016–17 season was Football Club Crotone's first ever season in Serie A. The club competed in the two Italian domestic competitions, finishing 17th in the league while being eliminated in the third round of the Coppa Italia. Crotone miraculously avoided relegation on the final day of the season, defeating Lazio 3–1 while already-relegated U.S. Città di Palermo secured a 2–1 victory over Empoli which doomed the Tuscan side to Serie B.
