The 2017 League of Ireland First Division season is the 33rd season of the League of Ireland First Division.
The First Division has 8 teams. Each team played each other four times, twice at home and twice away, for a total of 28 matches in the season.
On 22 December 2016, the FAI announced that the league would be restructured into two 10-team divisions from the 2018 season onwards, one of the recommendations made in the 2015 Conroy Report. This meant the cancellation of the promotion/relegation playoff and relegation at the end of the 2017 season of 3 teams from the Premier Division, with only the champions of the First Division promoted in return.
