Final Series
The winner of each league competition (top of the table) in the NPL competed in a single match knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2016. Unlike previous years, the participants were not matched up based on geographical proximity, instead an open draw was used to determine the match ups and hosting of quarter finals.{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalpremierleagues.com.au/article/matchups-for-2016-finals-series-take-shape/1n9trno9apabm1io4gm1yh6rfz|title=Matchups for 2016 Finals series take shape|access-date=2016-07-21}} Hosting of the semi-finals and final was based on a formula relating to time of winning (normal time, extra time or penalties), goals scored and allowed, and yellow/red cards.{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalpremierleagues.com.au/article/details-confirmed-for-semi-finals/1fugoneiotje81trq5s4ee0b25|title=Details confirmed for Semi-finals |publisher=Football Federation Australia|date=20 September 2016|access-date=20 September 2016}} The winner also qualified for the 2017 FFA Cup Round of 32.
