Teams
A total of 18 teams took part in the league: The best fifteen teams from the 2015-16 season, two promotion/relegation playoff winners and the 2015-16 Eerste Divisie champions.
Sparta Rotterdam, the champion of the 2015-16 Eerste Divisie, returned to the Eredivisie after spending six seasons in the Eerste Divisie, whereas play-off winner Go Ahead Eagles returned to the Eredivisie after just one season. They replaced relegated teams Cambuur and De Graafschap.
As a result of financial maladministration, the KNVB had originally taken FC Twente's license, causing them to relegate to the 2016-17 Eerste Divisie. However, FC Twente successfully appealed this decision and was therefore allowed to stay in the league.
