2016–17 West of Scotland Super League

The league comprised two divisions, a West of Scotland Super League Premier Division of twelve clubs and a West of Scotland Super League First Division of fourteen clubs. There were two automatic relegation places between the divisions, while the third-bottom placed side in the Premier Division entered the West Region league play-off, a two-legged tie against the third placed side in the First Division, to decide the final promotion/relegation spot. The winners of the Super League Premier Division are eligible to enter round one of the 2017–18 Scottish Cup.
