2016–17 Gibraltar Premier Division#Promotion/relegation play-off

As with the previous season, each of the ten Premier Division teams played each other three times for a total of 27 matches each.{{cite web |url=http://www.scoresway.com/?sport=soccer&page=competition&id=1141&view=rules |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141020011249/http://www.scoresway.com/?sport=soccer&page=competition&id=1141&view=rules |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 October 2014 |title=Premier Division: Season Rules |publisher=scoresway |access-date=24 September 2016 }} The tenth-placed team was relegated while the ninth-placed team from the Premier Division entered a playoff with the second-placed team from the Second Division for a spot in the 2017–18 Premier Division.

Starting from this season, Gibraltar are granted two spots instead of one in the Europa League.{{cite web|url=http://www.gibraltarfa.com/news/20-09-2016/Gibraltar-gains-an-additional-spot-in-the-europa-league|title=Gibraltar gains an additional spot in the Europa League|publisher=Gibraltar Football Association|date=20 September 2016|access-date=20 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204123859/http://www.gibraltarfa.com/news/20-09-2016/Gibraltar-gains-an-additional-spot-in-the-europa-league|archive-date=4 February 2017|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}} The season also saw the introduction of a Home Grown Player (HGP) rule, forcing clubs in both of Gibraltar's divisions to have at least 3 Gibraltarian players in their matchday squads, with at least one on the field of play at all times.
