For the first time in the tournament's history, evening sessions under floodlights were scheduled on rebuild centre court. The prize money has decreased to €42,500 + Hospitality, and because of calendar congestion caused by the 2016 Summer Olympics no top 100 player entered that year, which had not happened in Poznań Open before.[1] However, when the tournament started, a top seeded Radu Albot was ranked 92.

Due to bad weather, some of the first round doubles matches were played indoors.
