A total of 10 teams competed in the league: the 9 best teams from the 2015–16 season and the 2015–16 Swiss Challenge League champion Lausanne-Sport. The season started on the weekend of 23 and 24 July 2016 and ended on 2 June 2017.

Note: The table lists the positions of teams after completion of each round. In order to preserve chronological evolution, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the round after which they were actually played. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
