The teams in third and fourth qualified for the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League .

Competition mode and modalities

Competition mode

The league is organized with home and away games in such a way that all 18 participating teams have to compete against each other twice. The game is played according to the three-point rule . In the event of a win, the winning team receives three points and the losing team does not receive any points. After a tie, both teams receive one point. In the event of a tie, the direct comparison between the teams concerned is decisive and then the goal difference.

The team that took first place in the table after the last match day will be the new Turkish champions , while the last three in the table will be relegated to the TFF 1. Lig , the second highest Turkish division.

Distribution of the Europa Cup places

The first two of the season will take part in the UEFA Champions League 2016/17 according to the UEFA five-year ranking, with the champions qualifying directly and the second - placed first having to qualify through the qualifying rounds based on their club coefficient .

¹The match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe Istanbul on April 24, 2016 was canceled in the final minutes when the score was 0: 4, as a spectator stormed onto the field and hit the goal judge and entered. After other spectators had already broken through the barriers in the run-up to the game, but they could be stopped with the help of the police ; and in the further course of the game by Trabzonspor supporters demolished stadium seats and firecrackers were thrown on the field, the referee Bülent Yıldırım decided to break off the match early. The game had already been briefly interrupted by the referee beforehand.

The league operator TFF, Turkish Football Association , rated this match with 0: 4.

As a result of this incident, Trabzonspor received a ban on four home games from the Turkish Football Association's disciplinary committee and a fine of around 280,000 euros.
