Changes

Ten teams will compete in the league – the top eight teams from the previous season, as well as two teams promoted from the Albanian First Divisio. Korabi defeated Ada 1–0 at the Reshit Rusi Stadium on the final matchday of the regular season in Group A of the Albanian First Division to secure promotion to the Albanian Superliga after a 54 year absence. Luftëtari were then promoted back to Albanian Superliga after a three-year absence as they defeated Apolonia Fier on the final matchday of the regular season in Group B of the Albanian First Division. The two promoted clubs replace Bylis and Tërbuni.

Locations

  • (1) Korabi play their 2016–17 home games at the Selman Stërmasi Stadium in Tiranë. The club's regular home ground, the Korabi Stadium, does not meet the league's licensing criteria to host games.
  • (2) Partizani play their 2016–17 home games at the Elbasan Arena in Elbasan. The club's former home ground, the Qemal Stafa Stadium, was demolished and their new home ground at the Partizani Complex is currently under construction.
  • Results

    Each team plays every opponent four times, twice at home and twice away, for a total of 36 games.
