The 2016–17 Scottish Premiership (known as the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership for sponsorship reasons) will be the fourth season of the Scottish Premiership, the highest division of Scottish football. The season began on 6 August 2016. The fixtures were published on 17 June 2016. Celtic are the defending champions.
Twelve teams contest the league. The teams involved are Aberdeen, Celtic, Dundee, Hamilton Academical, Heart of Midlothian, Inverness CT, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, Rangers, Ross County and St Johnstone.
The following teams have changed division since the 2015–16 season.
Promoted from Scottish Championship
Relegated to Scottish Championship
In the initial phase of the season, the 12 teams will play a round-robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams three times. After 33 games, the league splits into two sections of six teams, with each team playing each other in that section. The league attempts to balance the fixture list so that teams in the same section play each other twice at home and twice away, but sometimes this is impossible. A total of 228 matches will be played, with 38 matches played by each team.
The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, 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.
