It featured 27 matches across 25 days, which began on 16 February 2017 and ended on 12 March 2017. For the fourth year in a row, the competition did not have a Grand Final or overall winner.[1] The competition had a new sponsor in 2017 in Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT),[2] who replaced National Australia Bank (NAB) after NAB elected to sponsor the inaugural AFL Women's season instead.[3] All matches were televised live on Fox Footy as well as on the AFL Live app.[4]
