The 2016 AFL Tasmania TSL premiership season was an Australian rules football competition staged across Tasmania, Australia over twenty-one home and away rounds and six finals series matches between 24 March and 17 September.[1]

The League was known as the Southern Cross State League under a commercial naming-rights sponsorship agreement with the company.[2]

Prospect Hawks would replace the Western Storm at the end of the 2015 season. However they would only field a Development League side in 2016 and dropped out of the Development League at the end of the 2016 season.[3]

Glenorchy were the premiers for the 2016 season, after they defeated North Launceston by 20 points in the Grand Final.[4]
