The following is a summary of Galway county football team's 2016 season.

Galway began their campaign by securing a 6th FBD Insurance League title, with a win over Roscommon. Galway ended Mayo's bid for a sixth consecutive Connacht SFC title with an unlikely three-point victory at McHale Park. In the 2016 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final Galway were defeated by Tipperary.
