The tournament was held at the Olympic Tennis Centre in the Barra Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 6–14 August 2016.

The United States' Serena Williams and Venus Williams were the two-time reigning gold medalists and top seeds, but they lost in the first round to Šafářová and Strýcová. The defeat ended the Williams sisters' 15 match winning streak in women's doubles at the Olympics, and marked their first loss together in Olympic competition.[1]

Hingis attempted to complete the career Golden Slam; she was originally to partner with Belinda Bencic but eventually partnered with Bacsinszky instead after Bencic had withdrawn due to ongoing wrist injury.
