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.
[1] 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.
The two teams are facing sanctions from the Russian Bandy Federation.
