The 2016 Ligue Haïtienne season was the 53rd season of top-tier football in Haiti. It began on 21 February 2016. The league is split into two tournaments—the Série d'Ouverture and the Série de Clôture—each with identical formats and each contested by the same 18 teams.

In a change from last year, the number of teams in the league has been reduced from 20 to 18.

Teams

[edit]

At the end of the 2015 season, the bottom 4 teams in the aggregate table; Valencia, PNH, US Lajeune, and Racine FC; were relegated to the Haitian second level leagues. Replacing them were two clubs from the Haitian second level leagues; Réal du Cap and Juventus.
