This season the league has 14 teams.
Sur SC and
Salalah SC were relegated to the
Oman First Division League after finishing in the relegation zone in the
2015–16 Oman Professional League season.
Al-Musannah SC too failed to secure their spot in the Oman Professional League as they were defeated 3-2 on aggregate in the Relegation/Promotion playoff by
Ja'lan SC who had finished third in the
2015–16 Oman First Division League. The three relegated teams were therefore replaced by Oman First Division League winners
Al-Rustaq SC, the runners-up of
Oman Club and third position holders Ja'lan SC.
