Hopefully someone from MSFT can respond to this topic: Is there any date or release on the roadmap when SQL 2016 will be supported?

    I opened a ticket to Premier on this a couple weeks back, and this is what I got back.

     

    Symptom - Customer has requested supportability of SQL 2016 with SfB 2015 Server.
    Cause - SQL 2012 Server mainstream support ending within next calendar year.
    Resolution - SQL 2016 is currently not supported, however Product group is working on determining steps to enable the use of SQL 2016 Server with SfB 2015 Server.

     

    So, still not supported and no ETA at this time.
