The 2016–17 Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano season is the 40th and last season under the LFPB name. This season will comprise three tournaments (Apertura 2016, Apertura 2017 and Clausura 2017) after an agreement was reached between LFPB and ANF (Second Division) to change the calendar to a single calendar year following the reforms implemented for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana by CONMEBOL ahead of the 2017 season.
The number of teams for 2016–17 remains the same as last season. Ciclón was relegated to the Liga Nacional B (Second Division). They were replaced by the 2015–16 Liga Nacional B champion Guabirá.
