The 2016 season was the Harrisburg City Islanders's 13th season of competitive soccer - its thirteenth season in the third division of American soccer and its sixth season in the United Soccer League since the league was first created with the City Islanders as one of the original 10 founder-members.

The 2016 season marks the City Islanders transition from Skyline Sports Complex to FNB Field (formerly Metro Bank Park) on City Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The transition was a result of the collaboration with the current tenants, the Harrisburg Senators, and to keep pace with the standards being implemented by the USL. The team will also share home matches with Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster, Pennsylvania as an effort to expand the Islanders fanbase throughout south central Pennsylvania.

The City Islanders competed in the 2016 edition of the U.S. Open Cup. During the 2015 edition of the competition, they were eliminated in the third round after conceding three goals in extra time to the Rochester Rhinos. In 2016, the City Islanders advanced through to the fourth round, where they were ultimately defeated in stoppage time by their former MLS affiliate, Philadelphia Union. After a stoppage time equalizer was scored by Bobby Warshaw in the 91st minute, the Union drew a late free kick outside the 18 yard box. The free kick was subsequently shot into the net by Roland Alberg in the third minute of stoppage time.
