The 2017 Ping An Chinese Football Association Super League (Chinese: 2017中国平安中国足球协会超级联赛)[2] was the 14th season since the establishment of the Chinese Super League.[3][4] The league title sponsor is Ping An Insurance.[5][6] Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao won their seventh consecutive title of the league.

This season witnessed a huge change in the regulation to the players. Only three foreign players can play at one game and at least two domestic players who are under the age of 23 (born on or after 1 January 1994) must be in the 18-man list, including at least one must be in the starting list.[7]

Name changes

Hangzhou Greentown were relegated after a 10-year spell in the Chinese top-flight, while Shijiazhuang Ever Bright were relegated to China League One after spending 2 seasons in the Chinese Super League.
