The Apertura tournament is the first half of the 2016–17 season which was played from 29 July to 18 December 2016.[16] The fixture was unveiled on 9 July.[17] C.D. Social Sol made its official debut in Liga Nacional on 29 July when they lost 3–2 to Club Deportivo Olimpia at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino.[18] C.D.

Clausura

The Clausura tournament is the second half of the 2016–17 season. The regular season fixtures were released on 10 December 2016.[21] The first match of the tournament was played on 7 January at Estadio Francisco Morazán between Real C.D. España and C.D. Social Sol which ended in a scoreless tie. On 8 February, Club Deportivo Olimpia defeated C.D.S. Vida with a 7–1 score, a game in which striker Roger Rojas scored five goals, a record only shared with Arturo Garden, Jorge Arriola and Marlon Hernández. On week 7, Vida and Juticalpa F.C. draw 1–1 at Estadio Carlos Calderón, a venue used in Liga Nacional for the first time. On 22 April, Social Sol's player Francisco Reyes became the first ever goalkeeper to score two goals in a league match after converting two penalty kicks in the 2–1 victory over C.D. Marathón.[22] On 28 May, C.D. Motagua obtained its 15th league title and their second in a row after defeating C.D. Honduras Progreso with a 7–1 aggregated score. In such game, 4 people were kill due to suffocation after a human stampede tried to push their way in to access the stadium which was already overcrowded.[23]
