At the end of the 2016 season, the bottom 4 teams in the aggregate table; Aigle Noir AC, Roulado FC, Inter, and Violette AC; were relegated to the Haitian second-level leagues.
Replacing them were two clubs from the Haitian second-level leagues; Éclair AC and AS Sud-Est.
Réal du Cap has changed its name to Real Hope FA.
The second leg between AS Mirebalais and Racing FC was abandoned in injury time due to an attack on the referee.
The 1–0 scoreline at the time was allowed to stand and a playoff between the sides would determine who advanced to the finals.
