| Relegation to 2017–18 LigaPro |
The 2016–17 Primeira Liga (also known as Liga NOS for sponsorship reasons) is the 83rd season of the Primeira Liga, the top professional league for Portuguese association football clubs.
Benfica are the defending champions for a third consecutive season.
For the third consecutive season, the league is contested by a total of 18 teams, which include the best 16 sides from the 2015–16 season and two promoted from the 2015–16 LigaPro.
Porto B won the 2015–16 LigaPro title on 8 May 2016, but as the reserve team of Primeira Liga side Porto they were ineligible for promotion, which meant that the third-placed team would be promoted instead. On the same day, Chaves drew 1–1 with Portimonense to secure the return to the top flight of Portuguese football, 17 years after their last appearance in the 1998–99 season. On the final matchday, Feirense secured the third place and last promotion slot after drawing 1–1 with Chaves; they return to the Primeira Liga four years after their last appearance in the 2011–12 season.
The two promoted clubs replaced Académica and União da Madeira. Académica confirmed their relegation on 7 May 2016, after a run of 14 consecutive seasons in the Primeira Liga, following a goalless draw against Braga. On the last matchday, União da Madeira's 2–1 defeat against Rio Ave also sealed their relegation, one season after having been promoted.
