Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Infobox football league season
The 2016 Latvian Higher League was the 25th season of top-tier football in Latvia. FK Liepāja were the defending champions. The season began on 11 March 2016 and ended on 5 November 2016; the relegation play-offs took place on 9 and 13 November 2016.
Teams
FB Gulbene were excluded from the previous season due to suspicion of match-fixing.[1] 2015 Latvian First League winners FC Caramba/Dinamo were promoted to the league and before the season changed their name to Riga FC.[2]
Skonto FC did not obtain a license to play in the 2016 Higher League.[3] Skonto appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied.[4] Since 2015 Latvian First League runners-up Valmiera Glass FK/BSS turned down the opportunity to be promoted to the Higher League, third-placed Rīgas Futbola skola (RFS) was promoted instead.[3]
