It began on 3 August 1996 and ended on 11 June 1997. Slovan Bratislava were the defending champions. Teams A total of 16 teams was contested in the league, including 12 sides from the 1995–96 season and four promoted from the 2. Liga. No team was relegated to the 1996–97 2. Liga due to the decision of the organization of 1. Liga, that the number of teams in the league should be expanded from 12 to 16 teams from that season. The fourth teams who are promoted from 1995–96 2. Liga are Artmedia Petržalka, MŠK Žilina, Rimavská Sobota and ZTS Kerametal Dubnica. Spartak Trnava was the favorite to win the title after leading first all season, but after a controversial 2-1 loss and an overturned penalty for Spartak in the last round in Rimavská Sobota, Spartak finished second behind Košice. It is believed that the Rezešovci mafia family from Košice were involved, though nothing was ever proven and no player was punished.redakcia@trnavskyhlas.sk Od Rimavskej Soboty prešlo 20 rokov, srdcia fanúšikov Spartaka stále krvácajú https://www.trnavskyhlas.sk/c/21623-od-rimavskej-soboty-preslo-20-rokov-srdcia-fanusikov-spartaka-stale-krvacaju/ 2026-08-18 Trnavský Hlas Stadiums and locations Slovakia 500 right Location of teams in 1996–97 1.
