2016–17 Liga FPD
The 2015–16 Costa Rican FPD is the 96th season of the Costa Rican top-flight football league. It is divided in two championships: the Invierno and Verano seasons.
Format
The season format was changed from previous years. The season will still be split into two tournaments, the [|Invierno] and [|Verano]. Also, each tournament's regular stage will still consist of a double-round robin. However, the top four teams from the regular stage will advance to a "quadrangular" double-round robin instead of a play-off stage. If the team with the most points in regular stage finishes with the most points in the quadrangular, they will automatically win the tournament. Otherwise, the regular stage and quadrangular winners will play to decide the tournament's champion.Teams

Verano Finals
Because different teams won the regular season title and the quadrangular tournament, those two winners, Saprissa and Herediano, will play a two-legged play-off to determine the Verano champions.----
