Season 2016–17
2017–18 →

The 2016–17 LigaPro (also known as Ledman LigaPro for sponsorship reasons) will be the 27th season of Portuguese football's second-tier league, and the second season under the current LigaPro title. A total of 22 teams will compete in this division, including reserve sides from top-flight Primeira Liga teams.

Teams

A total of 22 teams will contest the league, including 17 sides from the 2015–16 season, two relegated from the 2015–16 Primeira Liga and three promoted from the 2015–16 Campeonato de Portugal.[1]

On 15 March 2016, the LPFP announced that four teams instead of three will be relegated to the 2016–17 Campeonato de Portugal and two teams instead of three will be promoted directly from the third tier to reduce the number of LigaPro teams to 20 for the 2017–18 season. There will be also a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off involving the 17th- and 18th-placed teams of 2016–17 LigaPro and both second-placed teams of the Campeonato de Portugal promotion groups (North and South).[2]

As of 15 May 2016, the following teams have mathematically confirmed their participation in the 2016–17 season:
