Teams

[edit]

A total of 14 teams will participate in the 2016 Lao League season, ten from the previous season and four promoted teams. No teams were relegated after the 2015 season due to league expansion as Lao Army, National University of Laos, Saythany City and VSV United were promoted from the lower leagues. Hoang Anh Attapeu, who finished 5th in 2015, withdrew from the league while SHB Vientiane were renamed as CSC Champa and Savan were renamed as Savan United.[2][3]
