The players auction for the 2017 Indian Premier League was originally scheduled to be held in Bangalore on 4 February 2017, but was pushed forward by at least two weeks due to the BCCI–Lodha committee stand-off. On 3 February, the BCCI announced that the auction will be held on 20 February in Bangalore and that a total of 799 players have signed up for it. On 14 February, the IPL Desk released a list of 351 players.
