The Primera Divisió 2016/17 was the 22nd season of the highest Andorran football league. It began on September 18, 2016 and ended on May 21, 2017. The defending champion and winner of the last three championships was FC Santa Coloma , the newcomer from the Segona Divisió was CE Jenlai . Penya Encarnada d'Andorra was no longer represented in the top division of Andorra .

The twelve teams played against each other three times in a preliminary round, so that each club played 21 games. Then the league was divided into two groups of four: the best four teams played in the championship round for the title and international starting places, the four worst teams against relegation to the Segona Divisió . The points from the preliminary round were taken, so it could happen that the first of the relegation round at the end of the season had more points than the last of the championship round. However, this did not affect the end result.
