The 2017 Liga 2 was the inaugural season of the Liga 2 under its current name, and the eighth season under its current league structure.^[1]

Persebaya won the title after a 3–2 win over PSMS in the final at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung on 28 November 2017.

Overview[edit]

Player regulations[edit]

Starting this season Liga 2 was an under-25 tournament (born on or after 1 January 1992), with a maximum of five overage players allowed.^[2] Teams are no longer allowed to use foreign players and were allowed to have a maximum of 30 players.^[3]

Format[edit]

The league was divided into eight groups containing 7–8 teams each. The top two teams from each group qualified for the next round, while teams ranked fifth and below were relegated to the Liga 3. This arrangement was made to reduce the large number of participants (61) in 24 teams in the 2018 season.^[4][5][6]

Teams[edit]

55 teams from the 2015 Liga Indonesia Premier Division were rejoined with four teams who pulled out from that season. Persebaya Surabaya, previously not recognized, also participated this season.^[7]

• Villa 2000 was changed to Celebest after moving their homebase from South Tangerang to Palu in January 2016.
• Persigo was changed to Semeru after moving their homebase from Gorontalo to Lumajang in January 2017.
• Bintang Jaya Asahan merged with YSK 757 Karimun to become 757 Kepri Jaya after moving their homebase from Asahan to Batam in February 2017.
• Persires Sukoharjo was changed to Lampung Sakti after moving their homebase from Sukoharjo to Bandar Lampung in February 2017.
• Laga was changed to Sragen United after moving their homebase from Surabaya to Sragen on 27 February 2017.
• Persebo was changed to Madura after moving their homebase from Bondowoso to Sumenep in March 2017.
