The 2017 Liga 1 (also known as the GO-JEK Liga 1 for sponsorship reasons) season is the 60th season of top-flight football in Indonesia (under Football Association of Indonesia or PSSI), and the inaugural season Liga 1, replacing Indonesia Super League. The season began on 15 April 2017 and is scheduled to end on 12 November. Fixtures for the 2017 season were announced on 11 April 2017.

Winner of the 2014 Indonesia Super League Persib Bandung are the defending champions, as the 2015 Indonesia Super League was abandoned midway due to FIFA suspension while the 2016 Indonesia Soccer Championship A was not counted as an official league.

PSSI and the league operator planned to use foreign referees due to the number of complaints from the club on the performance of local referees. But this plan was cancelled later on.

League operator introduced several new regulations, such as requiring clubs to contract a minimum of five U-23 local players with three of them having to play as starting lineup minimum of 45 minutes in a match, restricting clubs to have more than two players older than 35 years old, and increasing the maximum number of substitutions to five for each team in a match.

FIFA approved the five substitution rule on 12 April 2017. However, the two additional substitutions (in addition of three subsitutions, in accordance to FIFA Laws of the Game) are only allowed for U-23 players.

A total of 18 teams participated in the inaugural season of Liga 1. All participants came from the abandoned 2015 Indonesia Super League. As such, no promoted team will compete in this season.

Persija and Bhayangkara FC moved their home base to Patriot Stadium, Bekasi. Persija's regular ground, Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta is being renovated for the upcoming 2018 Asian Games and will be unavailable for the rest of the season, while Bhayangkara FC—owned by Indonesian National Police—stated their move is intended to make them closer to the National Police Headquarters, located in Jakarta.
