The 2016 Première Ligue de soccer du Québec season is the fifth season of play for the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec; the highest level of soccer based in the Canadian province of Québec and one of two Division 3 semi-professional soccer leagues in the Canadian soccer pyramid (the other being League1 Ontario).

CS Mont-Royal Outremont is the defending champion.

Changes from 2015

The league will again feature seven teams, as in 2015.[1]

In December 2015, the league announced that FC L'Assomption-Lanaudière had dropped out of the league and that the club's regional soccer association, ARS Lanaudière, would field a new club in the PLSQ called FC Lanaudière. This club is meant to represent the whole Lanaudière region, and is supported by the association's 14 clubs, including L'Assomption-Lanaudière.[2]

Teams

The following seven teams will take part in the 2016 season:

Blainville
Gatineau
Lakeshore
Lanaudière

Cup

The cup tournament is a separate contest from the rest of the season, in which all seven teams from the league take part, and is unrelated to the season standings. It is not a form of playoffs at the end of the season (as is typically seen in North American sports), but is a competition running in parallel to the regular season (similar to the Canadian Championship or the FA Cup), albeit only for PLSQ teams. All matches are separate from the regular season, and are not reflected in the season standings.

The 2016 PLSQ Cup will maintain the same format as the previous seasons, as a two-game aggregate knockout tournament with a single match final. As defending champion, Lakeshore SC will obtain a bye for the first round.[3]
