The season saw the York Region Shooters claim their third CSL Championship by defeating Scarborough SC in a penalty shootout. In the Second Division FC Ukraine United went home with their first CSL double after defeating Burlington SC in the finals.

While FC Vorkuta became the second expansion franchise in CSL history since the Ottawa Wizards in the 2001 season to claim the regular season title in their debut season.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
The 2017 season was a highly competitive campaign particularly in the First division. The title was heavily contested between FC Vorkuta, Serbian White Eagles, and York Region Shooters. The outcome was determined on the final week of the regular season with Vorkuta claiming their first division title. The divisional champions were an expansion franchise with a noted history at the amateur level around the York Region.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
Vorkuta relied on the Ukrainian soccer market for player recruitment, and hired the services of Serhiy Zayets as head coach. Another source of talent acquisition came from FC Ukraine United's decision to relegate to the Second division, which allowed Vorkuta to acquire Ukraine United's key players. The club's foray into the professional scene was instantly felt as they managed to obtain the first position in the first two weeks. The majority of the season they were situated in the top three, and produced an eight game undefeated streak. They ultimately secured the title in the final two weeks, and reached the second stage of the postseason.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
The Serbian White Eagles entered the season as the defending champions with general manager Uroš Stamatović originally returning to manage the squad. Serbia retained their seasoned imports from Europe, while also rejuvenating the roster with graduates from their youth system. Their on field performance prospered as the White Eagles began the season with a 12-game undefeated streak. Their only defeat occurred in an away match while at home they remained undefeated and held the first position for seven consecutive weeks. A defeat to York Region dropped the Serbs to third, and concluded as runners up to Vorkuta by a single point. Unfortunately they failed to defend their championship after being eliminated by York Region in the semifinals.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
York Region Shooters were consistent challengers for the divisional title. The Vaughan based team preserved their veteran roster and continued their practice of acquiring additional talent from the Caribbean soccer market. They managed to hold the first position for three different occasions and held the third spot for the majority of the season. York Region continued their reputation as a solid defensive team and as a result secured the best defensive record. The Shooters were undefeated on the road and eventually finished third in the standings just two points away from the division title. In the postseason the Shooters secured their third CSL Championship.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
The fourth position was secured by Scarborough SC as the eastern Toronto club developed into an elite team. Preparations for the season included the recruitment of Krum Bibishkov as a player-coach. Scarborough added more depth to their roster by attracting further overseas talent. The team achieved a five game undefeated streak towards the conclusion of the season and finished in the top four in best offensive and defensive records. In the postseason Scarborough reached the championship final for the first time in its history.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary
Brantford Galaxy secured a postseason berth by finishing fifth in the standings. The Galaxy primarily battled with Scarborough and fluctuated between the fourth and fifth positions. Saša Vuković was the change in the managerial structure and took the team to the first round of the playoffs. The bottom section of the division featured Milton SC, Royal Toronto FC, and SC Waterloo Region. After competing in the Second division for the 2016 season Waterloo returned to the First division with former player Stefan Ristic managing the team. The club produced a mediocre season by finishing in seventh place tied with Milton in points only separated by a lower goal difference.


2017 Canadian Soccer League season, Summary

2017 Carlton Football Club season, Women's team, Squad
Under the competition's player recruitment regulations, each of the eight clubs was entitled to sign two marquee players. In July 2016, Carlton recruited St Kilda Sharks key position/midfielder and former Australian international soccer goalkeeper Brianna Davey and Darebin Falcons full forward Darcy Vescio as its marquee players. Darebin midfielder Lauren Arnell also signed with the club as a priority signing due to her pre-existing relationship with the club as its Female Football Ambassador. The club drew most of its remaining recruits from the inaugural AFL Women's draft, with Cranbourne forward Bianca Jakobsson taken with Carlton's first round selection at No. 3 overall. Arnell was made the inaugural captain of the team, with Davey and Madeline Keryk serving as vice-captains.

The club played each of the other seven clubs once in the home-and-away series of the inaugural AFL Women's fixture over February and March.

The match, for which admission was free, drew a lockout crowd of 24,568 at Ikon Park, after having originally been scheduled for Collingwood's 5,000-capacity Olympic Park training oval then being transferred due to the expected crowd.
