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

Player regulations

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

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

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]
