Relegation to 2017–18 Egyptian Second Division

The 2016–17 Egyptian Premier League (also known as the Obour Land Premier League for sponsorship reasons) is the 58th season of the Egyptian Premier League, the top Egyptian professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1948. The season started on 15 September 2016. Fixtures for the 2016–17 season were announced on 22 August 2016.

Al Ahly are the defending champions. Al Nasr Lel Taa'den, El Sharkia and Tanta have entered as the three promoted teams from the 2015–16 Egyptian Second Division.

A total of eighteen teams will compete in the league – the top fifteen teams from the previous season, as well as three teams promoted from the Second Division.

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
