The 2016–17 Championnat de France Amateur will be the 19th season of the fourth tier in the French football league system in its current format. The competition will be contested by 64 clubs split geographically across 4 groups of 16 teams each. The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs.

  • 2 teams reprieved from relegation from 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur (Rodez and Vitré)
  • Sporting Club Toulon, formed from a merger of Toulon-Le Las and Toulon, and taking the former's place in the league.

    • On 9 August, the FFF confirmed the decision by Évian TG not to participate in the CFA following the club's recent receivership. Because the decision comes after 15 July, there will be no replacement and Group C will instead operate with 15 clubs.
