The 2016–17 Ukrainian Premier League season is the 26th top-level football club competitions since the fall of the Soviet Union and the ninth since the establishment of the Ukrainian Premier League. The league is scheduled to play its first 18 rounds before the winter break (10 December 2016 – 25 February 2017) finishing its first stage of tournament in March. The second stage is scheduled to start on 1 April 2017 and finish on 31 May 2017.

The league's title sponsor for 2016–17 season as for the previous season is a bookmaker company Parimatch, the title of which is displayed on the season shield.

With the continuation of the military conflict in the eastern oblasts (regions) of Ukraine since 2014 and the Russian occupation of Crimea (see the map), the league was forced to change its format again and will now be contested by 12 teams after being cut from 14 in the 2015–16 season.

Dynamo Kyiv were the defending champions. On 6 May 2017 in Kharkiv, Shakhtar Donetsk secured its 10th championship title with a win over Zorya Luhansk and four more rounds to play in the season.^[3] The 10th title that Shakhtar earned this season would allow the club to place a star on the club's crest to indicate this feat.^[3]

^ Volodymyr Bezubyak was a senior coach of Karpaty Lviv instead of a regular position of a head coach. The president Dyminsky came out with a new "know-how" and appointed Luzhnyi as a manager of all teams including the club's academy, while Bezubyak continued to coach the first team.^[24]
^ The Karpaty's official head coach Oleh Luzhnyi was not confirmed on the position of head coach of Karpaty Lviv for the upcoming season.^[27] He was fired for not achieving the club's goal, but to the press he denied that he was managing anything.^[24]
^ Both Viktor Dohadailo and Roman Monaryov were announced as replacements for the resigned Argentinian specialist.^[35] The Premier League posts Dohadailo as the only head coach of the senior team after the coach substitution.^[36] Roman Monaryov became the only head coach since the start of 2017.

Scandals

FIFA sanctions

Number of sanctions were implemented by FIFA against some Ukrainian clubs due to their refuse to follow their contractual agreements with players and coaching staff.

In summer of 2016 FIFA imposed sanctions against FC Volyn Lutsk due to the " Ramon Lopes case" denying Volyn the right to register new players other than out of own academy (sport school). The sanctions were in place until 1 March 2017. On 24 February 2017 it became known that sanctions were extended to the end of season.^[108]

Separate and much bigger sanctions were implemented against FC Dnipro for number of instances among which are cases with Danilo Sousa Campos, Juande Ramos and others (see above). Before the winter break the club had 12 tournament points deducted, while more sanctions are anticipated to be introduced.^[109]^[110]

The FIFA sanctions were also implemented against FC Karpaty Lviv due to the " Semir Štilić case" (see above).

Other scandals

Previous agreement between Chornomorets and Zorya provided the Luhansk club with the Chornomorets home venue in Odesa for the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League. However the Odesa club failed to payback revenue to Zorya from tickets that were sold for the games. Zorya Luhansk took this case to court, while Chornomorets Odesa has paid portion of the debt already.^[111]
