Pre-Season Overview
June
On 14 June 2016 Mohun Bagan announced that they would be fielding a junior side in the Calcutta Football league which would be mentored by assistant coach Sankarlal Chakraborty. The club officials also announced that they would not be fielding a side in the exhibition matches of the Calcutta Football league against East Bengal and Mohammedan due to disagreement with the Indian Football Association over television broadcast rights sharing and match-day ticket distribution.[1]
Mohun Bagan confirmed the signing of former Salgaocar striker Darryl Duffy on 30 June 2016, striking a 1-year deal with the Scottish forward.[2]
July
Mohun Bagan started their training for the season on 6 July 2016 under the guidance of assistant coach Sankarlal Chakraborty.[3]
On 18 July 2016, Bagan's new striker, Darryl Duffy arrived in Kolkata and joined practice the following day.[4] Mohun Bagan played their first practice match of the season against Peerless on 19 July 2016, where they went down 2–0 against their opponents.[5]
On 22 July 2016, the Mariners played their second practice match of the season against a weak CFC and demolished their opponents 8–0. Star striker Darryl Duffy scored a brace and also found the back of the net for the first time in Green and Maroon colours, while other scorers included the lights of Kean Lewis, Tapan Maity (brace), Pankaj Moula, Babul Biswas, Ajay Singh.[6]
Mohun Bagan played their 3rd practice match of the season on 27 July 2016, against Kalyani XI, at their home ground. The Mariners won 2–0 courtesy goals from Darryl Duffy and new recruit Simranjit Singh.[7]
August
Mohun Bagan played their 4th and final practice match of the season on 2 August 2016, against premier division side Railway F.C. Darryl Duffy and Raju Gaikwad scored to give the Mariners a comfortable 2–0 victory.[8]
On 4 August 2016, Mohun Bagan announced the signing of their second foreign recruit, English defender Danny Seaborne.[9]
Season Overview

Mohun Bagan played their first match of the season in the Calcutta football league tie against Aryan. The Mariners got off to a brilliant start in the season as they demolished their opponents 5–1, courtesy a hat-trick from Darryl Duffy and goals each from Prabir Das and Azharuddin Mallick.
On 9 August 2016, Mohun Bagan announced the signing of midfielder Thangjam Singh from ISL team Mumbai City FC.[10]
Mohun Bagan continued their winning run in the Calcutta football league, when they demolished George Telegraph 4–0 in their 2nd game of the season. Prabir Das was the star performer of the match scoring 2 goals while Darryl Duffy and Thangjam Singh scored the other two goals.
On 14 August 2016, the Mariners won their 3rd consecutive match of the season propelling them to the top of the Calcutta football league standings. Bagan defeated Southern Samity courtesy the solo goal of new recruit Ajay Singh. On 16 August 2016, Mohun Bagan announced the signing of Haroon Fakruddin in place of English defender Danny Seaborne who left the club on basis of a mutual understanding.[11]
On 17 August 2016, Mohun Bagan announced the signing of their third foreigner for the Calcutta football league as they finalised a deal with Nigerian striker Daniel Bedemi.[12]
Mohun Bagan won their 4th consecutive match of the season on 18 August 2016, when they defeated Bhawanipore 1–0, courtesy a brilliant goal from Thangjam Singh.
The Mariners dropped their first points of the season, when they were held to a goalless draw by Peerless on 22 August 2016 in their 5th match of the season. This draw put them in 2nd position, 2 points behind archrivals East Bengal.
Mohun Bagan were level 1–1 against Tollygunge Agragami before the match got abandoned in the 93rd minute due to crowd trouble. Mohun Bagan were denied 3 apparently legitimate goals by the assistant referee due to offside. The decisive finish by Azharuddin Mallick in the 93rd minute was ruled out due to offside by the assistant referee. This goal could have given Mohun Bagan a 2–1 lead and a possible 3 points from the match. This decision by the referee sparked controversy and a packed gallery at the Mohun Bagan Ground erupted into protest. Despite lots of effort by the club officials and police force thereof, the match could not be restarted and was declared abandoned.[13]
On 31 August 2016, the Indian Football Association announced a replay of the abandoned Mohun Bagan and Tollygunge Agragami match, but kept the decisions on the date, time and venue of the match as pending.[14]
September
On 2 September 2016, Mohun Bagan finally returned to winning ways, when they defeated United 3–1 courtesy a brace from Daniel Bedemi and a solitary goal from Darryl Duffy.
On 7 Sepeteber 2016, Mohun Bagan refused to take the field in the scheduled Kolkata Derby and gave arch-rivals East Bengal a walkover, citing lack of opportunities of pre-match practice at the Kalyani Stadium. Mohun Bagan had requested the IFA to postpone the match by at least one day. The association however did not heed to this request and hence Bagan did not field a team in the match. The outcome of the match is yet to be decided by the IFA.[15]
On 10 September 2016, Mohun Bagan came up with a brilliant performance against a depleted Army XI side, where they defeated the army men by 6–0. Daniel Bedemi stood out, scoring 4 of the goals by himself, while Darryl Duffy and Azharuddin Mallick added to Bagan's tally.
Mohun Bagan lost their first match of the season against Tollygunge Agragami on 15 September 2016. The Mariners failed to equalize after a 32nd minute Joel Sunday strike, as they went down 0–1 to the minnows.
On 18 September 2016, Mohun Bagan lost their final match of the league by 0–1 against city rivals Mohammedan. This loss meant that the Green and Maroon Brigade slipped to 3rd position in the league, while Mohammedan finished runners-up after eight long years.[16]
Om 20 September 2016, along expected lines, the IFA announced East Bengal the winners of the abandoned derby with a score of 3–0 in their favour. The association also announced further actions against Mohun Bagan stating that it would decide after the conclusion of the whether to deduct another 2 points from Mohun Bagan's tally for not informing of not playing the derby. The parent body also issued show-causes to two Mohun Bagan officials for derogatory remarks against the association.[17]
