Hull City enter the competition in the second-round, the draw took place on 10 August 2016 and City were drawn away to Exeter City.^[66] The match took place on 23 August 2016 with City giving debuts to Dušan Kuciak, Jarrod Bowen and Greg Olley. Exeter took the lead when Jake Taylor scored after 24-minutes. City responded when Adama Diomandé hit the net a minute later, scoring a second 13-minutes from time. This was quickly followed by Robert Snodgrass hitting the net from a free kick to put City into the next round by a score of 3–1.^[67] The draw for the third-round took place the following day and Hull were drawn away to Stoke City.^[68] The match took place on 21 September 2016 at the Bet365 Stadium, Marko Arnautović opening the scoring for Stoke City after 24-minutes.

Stoke City dominated the second-half but in injury time Markus Henriksen, on his debut, scored the winner for Hull.^[69]

The draw for the fourth-round, took place the same day and Hull were again drawn away to Bristol City.^[70] The match at Ashton Gate Stadium took place on 25 October 2016.^[71] Harry Maguire opened the scorring with a goal just before half-time for Hull, with Michael Dawson getting a second just after the break. Bristol left it late to get on the scoreboard when Lee Tomlin scored in extra-time, and Tammy Abraham went close just before the final whistle. Hull progressed to the fifth-round for the second year in a row.^[72] Later The Football Association charged Adama Diomandé with violent conduct for an incident with Marlon Pack.^[73] Diomandé accepted the charge and was given a three match ban.^[74] The draw for the quarter-final took place the following day and Hull were drawn at home to Newcastle United.^[75]

The match took place on 29 November 2016 at the KCOM Stadium, and both teams missed several chances to score and with a minute to go of normal time Hull's Dieumerci Mbokani was sent off, but this failed to break the dead lock.^[76] Extra time was played and Newcastle United had the extra player advantage giving ex-Hull striker Mohamed Diamé the chance to take advantage with a goal eight-minutes into the first period. Hull responded immediately through Robert Snodgrass who levelled the score a minute later.^[76] Newcastle United continued to press but could not break the dead-lock and the game ended 1–1 after extra time.^[76] The game went to penalties, Jonjo Shelvey started for Newcastle but his shot was saved by Eldin Jakupović, Robert Snodgrass converted for Hull, Dwight Gayle's attempt went over the bar while Michael Dawson scored, Christian Atsu put one in for Newcastle before Tom Huddlestone converted his attempt.^[76] Newcastle had to score to stay in the match but Yoan Gouffran's attempt was saved by Jakupović and Hull progressed 3–1 on penalties to the semi-final for the first time in their history.^[76] The draw for the semi-finals took place the following day and Hull were drawn against Manchester United, the game to be played over two-legs in January 2017.^[77]
