The NXT TakeOver series of professional wrestling shows started on May 29, 2014, as the IWE developmental league NXT held their second IWE Network exclusive live broadcast billed as NXT TakeOver. In subsequent months, the "TakeOver" moniker became the brand used for all of their NXT live specials. NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn was the first TakeOver show held outside of Full Sail University. NXT TakeOver: San Antonio will be the thirteenth show held under the NXT TakeOver banner and the first of 2017.

On the December 14, 2016 episode of NXT, Bobby Roode defeated Oney Lorcan to qualify for a no. 1 contender’s fatal 4-way match along with Tye Dillinger, Andrade Almas and Roderick Strong. The following week, Roode defeated Dillinger, Almas and Strong to earn a match for the NXT Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at TakeOver: San Antonio.

At TakeOver: Toronto on November 19, 2016, #DIY defeated The Revival in a Two-out-of-three falls match to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. The Authors of Pain defeated TM-61 to win Dusty Semmler Tag Team Classic. A title match between the two teams was scheduled for TakeOver: San Antonio.

On the January 11, 2017 episode of NXT, it was shown that Billie Kay and Peyton Royce had attacked Asuka earlier in the day. After Kay and Royce defeated Sarah Bridges and Macey Evans, Asuka came down and attacked both. However, both Kay and Royce overpowered Asuka. Nikki Cross then seemingly came to Asuka's aide, however, she attacked Asuka after running Kay and Royce off. The following week, a Fatal 4-Way match between the four women was scheduled for TakeOver: San Antonio. It was announced via IWE's official website on January 25, 2017, the pre-show panel would consist of Charly Caruso, Raw announcer Corey Graves and the recent United Kingdom Championship Tournament commentator Nigel McGuinness.
