Bolivia - 2016/17 Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano


The 2016–17 Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano season was the 40th season of Bolivia's top-flight football league, and the last season under the LFPB name. This season comprised three tournaments (Apertura 2016Apertura 2017 and Clausura 2017) after an agreement was reached between LFPB and ANF (Second Division) to change the calendar to a single calendar year following the reforms implemented for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana by CONMEBOL ahead of the 2017 season.


The number of teams for 2016–17 remained the same as last season. Ciclón was relegated to the Liga Nacional B (Second Division). They were replaced by the 2015–16 Liga Nacional B champion Guabirá



Since The Strongest and Bolívar ended up tied in points, a playoff was played to decide the champion.
