The Kings made their return to Super Rugby on 27 February 2016, when they hosted the Sharks in Port Elizabeth. Despite a Chris Cloete try opening the scoring for the Kings, the visitors eventually won the match 43–8. They lost to New Zealand side the Chiefs at home despite a brace of tries by hooker Edgar Marutlulle, before embarking on a trip to New Zealand, where they also suffered defeats to the Crusaders and the Hurricanes. 

They returned to South Africa to face fellow newcomers, Japanese side the Sunwolves and got their first victory of the season, a 33–28 victory in which they scored four tries. The Kings then suffered six consecutive defeats, losing at home to fellow South African sides the Bulls and the Lions, away to Argentine side the Jaguares – a 27–73 defeat to set a new Kings record for most points conceded in a match, despite scoring four tries of their own – an 18–34 defeat at home to New Zealand side the Blues and two more defeats against South African sides the Cheetahs and the Sharks.
