The 2016 Tippeligaen was the 72nd season of top-tier football in Norway. The competition began on 11 March 2016. Due to the 2016 UEFA European Championship, there was a break between the rounds played on 29 May and 3 July. The decisive matches of the home-and-away season were played on 6 November 2016. A promotion/relegation play-off between the third-from-bottom team of the Tippeligaen and the winner of the promotion play-offs of the 2016 Norwegian First Division was contested on 30 November and 4 December 2016.
The league was contested by 16 teams: the 13 best teams of the 2015 season; the two teams who won direct promotion from the 2015 Norwegian First Division, Sogndal and Brann; and Start, who won the promotion/relegation play-off finals against Jerv.
