The 2016–17 UEFA Youth League knockout phase (play-offs and round of 16 onwards) began on 7 February 2017 and concluded on 24 April 2017 with the final at Colovray Stadium in Nyon, Switzerland, to decide the champions of the 2016–17 UEFA Youth League. A total of 24 teams competed in the knockout phase.[1]
Times up to 25 March 2017 (play-offs, round of 16 and quarter-finals) are CET (UTC+1), thereafter times (semi-finals and final) are CEST (UTC+2).
The schedule of the knockout phase is as follows (all draws are held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).[2]

The knockout phase involves 24 teams: 16 teams which qualify from the UEFA Champions League Path (eight group winners and eight group runners-up), and eight teams which qualify from the Domestic Champions Path (eight second round winners):[1]
Each tie in the knockout phase is played over one match. If the scores are level after full-time, the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played).[1]
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
On 17 July 2014, the UEFA emergency panel ruled that Ukrainian and Russian clubs would not be drawn against each other "until further notice" due to the political unrest between the countries.[3] This restriction, if necessary, applies to the draws for the play-offs, round of 16 and quarter-finals (should such meeting be possible given that the identity of the quarter-finalists are not known at the time of the draw), where matches are hosted by one of the teams, but not to the semi-finals and final, which are played at a neutral venue.
