The 2016 Mountain West Conference Championship Game was played on Saturday, December 3, 2016 at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming, and determined the 2016 football champion of the Mountain West Conference (MW).

Even though the two teams played a conference game on November 19, with Wyoming winning, the MW does not use head-to-head results as its first tiebreaker in such a situation.

The Aztecs then stormed through the conference undefeated 5–0, clinching the West Division for the second consecutive season.

However, by the time of the New Mexico game, the Cowboys were already assured of winning a tiebreaker to represent the Mountain Division by virtue of Boise State's loss to Air Force.

Wyoming finished in a three-way tie with Boise State and New Mexico at 6–2; all three teams were level on the first tiebreaker of head-to-head record, with Wyoming winning the second tiebreaker of division record (4–1 to 3–2 for Boise State and New Mexico).
