We present the MUSE Deep Lensed Field (MDLF) program, which is aimed at unveiling the very faint population of high redshift sources that are magnified by strong gravitational lensing and to significantly increase the number of constraints for the lens model. We describe Deep MUSE observations of 17.1 hours of integration on a single pointing over the Hubble Frontier Field galaxy cluster MACS J0416, providing line flux limits down to 2x10^19^erg/s/cm^2^ within 300km/s and continuum detection down to magnitude 26, both at the three sigma level at {lambda}=7000{AA}. For point sources with a magnification ({mu}) greater than 2.5 (7.7), the MLDF depth is equivalent to integrating more than 100 (1000) hours in blank fields, as well as complementing non-lensed studies of very faint high-z sources. The source-plane effective area of the MDLF with {mu}>6.3 is <50% of the image-plane field of view. We confirm spectroscopic redshifts for all 136 multiple images of 48 source galaxies at 0.910 for individual objects down to de-lensed magnitudes between 28-30. The median stacked spectrum of 33 sources with a median M_UV_=~-17 and =3.2 (1.72). The catalog will be updated in the next versions with additional information.
