2016 BYU Cougars men's soccer team

The 2016 BYU Cougars men's soccer team was a part of the BYU Athletics program, but they did not compete in a college conference. Instead, they participated in the 2016 USL Premier Development League (PDL). The team was led by first-year head coach Brandon Gilliam.[1] Along with the arrival of a new coach, BYU made a divisional move from the Mountain Division of the PDL to the Central Pacific division. This change occurred due to the folding of the Mountain Division following the closure of the Real Colorado Foxes franchise.
