The 2016–17 Danish League was the 45th season of the top-flight of the Danish Women's Football League. Fortuna Hjørring were the defending champions.

Format

The main round of the league is played in autumn as a double round-robin tournament between the 8 participating teams, where each team plays against each other both at home and away.

The six best placed teams qualify for spring championship play-offs. The finals consist once again of a double round-robin tournament among the six participating teams. The scores from the main league round carry over into the championship play-offs. The two bottom ranked teams instead play in qualification play-offs, a double round-robin tournament with the top four teams of 2016–17 1st Division for two spots in 2017–18 Danish League.
