2017–18 ISL Players Draft

The 2017–18 ISL Players Draft was a players draft conducted by the Indian Super League on 23 July 2017.

Format

Regulations for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season allow for each club to have a minimum of 15 Indian players and a maximum of 18, which include two mandatory under-21 players. Prior to the draft, each club was allowed to retain a maximum of two senior players from the previous season ( 2016–17 I-League for Bengaluru FC) as well as retaining up to three under-21 players.

The draft had a total of 15 rounds. New expansion side, Jamshedpur FC, had the first pick in both the first and second rounds. Them and Delhi Dynamos, who didn't retain a single player from the previous season, were the only sides who participate in the first round of the draft.
