The 2016–17 Primera División de Fútbol Profesional season (also known as the Liga Pepsi) is the 18th season and 35th and 36th tournament of El Salvador's Primera División since its establishment of an Apertura and Clausura format. Alianza and Dragon were the defending champions of the Apertura and Clausura, respectively. The league will consist of 12 teams. There will be two seasons conducted under identical rules, with each team playing a home and away game against the other clubs for a total of 22 games per tournament. At the end of each half-season tournament, the top 8 teams in that tournament's regular season standings will take part in the playoffs. The champions of Apertura and Clausura will both qualify for the 2017–18 CONCACAF Champions League. Should the same team win both tournaments, the runners-up with the best aggregate record will qualify for the Champions League.
Team information
A total of 12 teams will contest the league, including 11 sides from the 2015-16 Primera División and 1 promoted from the 2015–16 Segunda División.
C.D. Atlético Marte were relegated to 2016–17 Segunda División the previous season.
The relegated team was replaced by the 2015–16 Segunda División playoffs promotion winner. C.D. Municipal Limeno won the Apertura 2015 and Clausura 2016 title, meaning there was no need for a promotion playoff and were promoted automatically.
