It began on 19 August and ended with relegation play-off finals on 10 December. The season was transitional back to the Autumn-Spring system. Apart from this change, the league consisting of 18 teams was due to be reduced to 10 for 2017. Taking into consideration the upcoming exit of four clubs from Umaglesi Liga at the end of this season, a total of twelve teams of Pirveli Liga were doomed for relegation, while no promotion to the top tier was envisaged. Team changes The best two teams of the 2015–16 season, Liakhvi and WIT Georgia, were denied promotion to Umaglesi Liga. Georgian Football Federation referred to discrepancies found in submitted license documents as the reason behind this decision."ვიტ ჯორჯია" და "ლიახვი" უმაღლეს ლიგაში ვერ ითამაშებენ https://www.worldsport.ge/ge/page/139722_vit-djordjia-da-liaxvi-umagles-ligashi-ver-itamasheben worldsport.ge (in Georgian) 28 May 2016 Therefore, they both remained in Pirveli Liga.
