The 2016–17 Maltese Premier League will be the 102nd season of the Maltese Premier League. The season will begin on 20 August 2016 and end in April/May 2017. Valletta are the defending champions, having won their 23rd title the previous season.
Format
For this season, in a change from recent previous seasons, points earned in the first 22 matches are no longer halved. Each team will therefore play 33 matches, home-and-away against each other team (22 matches), and then one more match (either home or away) against each other team.
