We perform a global fit of parton distribution functions (PDFs) together with the strong coupling constant 
and the quark masses 
, 
and 
at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD. The analysis applies the 
renormalization scheme for and all quark masses. It is performed in the fixed-flavor number scheme for 
and uses the same data as the previous ABMP16 fit at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). The new NLO PDFs complement the set of ABMP16 PDFs and are to be used consistently with NLO QCD predictions for hard scattering processes. At NLO we obtain the value 
compared to 
at NNLO.
