The 2016 Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol Serie A (officially known as the Copa Banco del Pacífico Serie A for sponsorship reasons) is the 58th season of the Serie A.
Twelve teams are competing in the 2016 Serie A season, ten of whom remain from the previous season. LDU Loja and Deportivo Quito were relegated from the Serie A after accumulating the least amount of points during the 2015 season. They were replaced by Delfín and Fuerza Amarilla, the 2015 Serie B winner and runner-up, respectively. Delfín is making their 11th top-flight appearance and their first return to the Serie A since 2001, while Fuerza Amarilla is participating in their first top-flight appearance.
