The 2016–17 Albanian Superliga was the 78th official season, or 81st season of top-tier football in Albania (including three unofficial championships during World War II) and the 17th season under the name Kategoria Superiore. Skënderbeu Korçë were the defending champions. The season began on 7 September 2016 and concluded on 27 May 2017.

On 20 May 2017, Kukësi defeated the reigning champions Skënderbeu Korçë 2–0 to clinch their first-ever league title, in only their fifth season in the top-flight.[6]

Teams

Changes

Ten teams competed in the league – the top eight teams from the previous season, as well as two teams promoted from the Albanian First Division. 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.[7][8] 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.[9][10] The two promoted clubs replace Bylis and Tërbuni.
