2016–17 Football Superleague of Kosovo

The 2016–17 Football Superleague of Kosovo season, also known as the Vala Superleague of Kosovo for sponsorship reasons was the 18th season of top-tier football in Kosovo. The season began on 19 August 2016 and concluded on 28 May 2017; the relegation play-offs will follow. Feronikeli are the defending champions.

A total of 12 teams are competing in the league: 10 sides from the 2015–16 season and two promoted from the Liga e Parë.

The 2016–17 season will be the first full season that the Football Federation of Kosovo will be a member of FIFA and UEFA. Qualification for the UEFA Champions League will be determined at the end of the season, pending re-evaluation of the league's adherence to UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations and stadium standards.

On 9 May 2017, Trepça'89 defeated Besa 2–0 away from home to clinch their first league title. Trepça'89 will participate in the first qualifying round of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League, the first team from Kosovo to participate in the competition.
