The 2016 season was DPMM FC's 5th consecutive season in the top flight of Singapore football, the S.League. They were the defending champions after a victorious 2015 campaign.[1] The club also competed in the Singapore Cup and the Singapore League Cup.

This was Steve Kean's third season as head coach of the club. In this particular season, he advised players like Helmi Zambin, Yura Indera Putera Yunos and Najib Tarif to adapt to new playing positions in order to gain more minutes. Changes to the S.League in regards to foreign players' quota meant that the club had to release Boris Raspudic and Joe Gamble.[1]

Summary

DPMM began their season contesting the 2016 Singapore Community Shield against 2015 Singapore Cup winners Albirex Niigata (S) on 13 February which finished 3–2 to the Japanese satellite club.[2]

In April, long-serving stalwart Sairol Sahari suffered an anterior crucial ligament injury that ultimately ended his DPMM career.[3]

At the 2016 Singapore Cup, DPMM were drawn at the quarter-final stage with Ceres–La Salle FC who beat them 5–3 on aggregate on 3 July.[4]

At the 2016 Singapore League Cup in July, DPMM reached the final of the competition against Albirex where they were beaten 0–2 at Jalan Besar Stadium.[5]

DPMM ended their campaign in third place, behind Albirex and Tampines Rovers.[6]
