The 2016 Categoría Primera B season (officially known as the 2016 Torneo Águila season for sponsorship reasons) is the 27th season since its founding.

Format
The league will retain the format used in the most recent season.[1] The tournament will be played in a year-round competition with the 16 teams playing the other teams twice on a home-and-away basis and playing a regional rival twice more for a total of 32 matches. The top eight teams after the thirty-two rounds will advance to the Semifinal round where the eight teams will be sorted into two groups of four and will play a double Round-robin tournament group stage. Both group winners will earn promotion to the Categoría Primera A and will also advance to the Final round, which will consist of two legs and will decide the season winner.
