The 2017 National Premier Leagues WA season was played over 26 rounds commencing in February 2017, followed by a Top 4 Finals series. A revised Relegation system for the bottom team will depend on whether the two Division 1 teams that meet NPL WA eligibility criteria finish in the top 4 of the league season. If either come first, the bottom team will be relegated, but if one comes second, third or fourth, then there will be a promotion/relegation playoff.[1]
The Top Four Cup, known as the McInerney Ford Top Four Cup for sponsorship reasons, was played as a finals competition at the conclusion of the regular season.
As both Forrestfield United and South West Phoenix met the requirement criteria for NPL WA eligibility, if either came first in the league then they would be promoted to the 2018 NPL Western Australia. But as neither came first, then Forrestfield as the highest of the two – that came either second, third or fourth – played a two-legged Promotion and relegation play-off against Mandurah City.
Forrestfield United won 6–3 on aggregate, and promoted to the NPLWA in 2018.
