The 2016–17 Oman Professional League (known as the Omantel Professional League for sponsorship reasons) is the 41th edition of the top football league in Oman. The season will begin on 17 September 2016 and is set to conclude on 12 May 2016.Fanja SC are the defending champions, having won their record ninth title in the previous 2015–16 Oman Professional League season.
This season the league has 14 teams. Sur SC and Salalah SC were relegated to the Oman First Division League after finishing in the relegation zone in the 2015–16 Oman Professional League season. Al-Musannah SC too failed to secure their spot in the Oman Professional League as they were defeated 3-2 on aggregate in the Relegation/Promotion playoff by Ja'lan SC who had finished third in the 2015–16 Oman First Division League. The three relegated teams were therefore replaced by Oman First Division League winners Al-Rustaq SC, runners-up Oman Club and third position holders Ja'lan SC.
