The 2017 Australian Football League season is the 121st season of the elite Australian rules football competition. There are 18 teams competing in the league, the same as the previous five seasons. The first game was played on Thursday, 23 March, and the season is scheduled to conclude with the 2017 AFL Grand Final on Saturday, 30 September.

Rule changes

The following amendments were made to the Laws of the Game for the 2017 season:^[1]

Rules relating to around-the-ground ruck contests were amended such that only the nominated ruckman for each team is permitted in the contest, eliminating the option for another player to enter the contest and take the tap, otherwise known as the "third man up" strategy.^[2] This was done to make ruck contests easier to adjudicate, to reduce the risk of injuries to ruckmen, and to increase the value of the skill of ruckwork.^[2]
A more stringent interpretation of deliberate rushed behinds was introduced, by allowing the umpire to consider prior opportunity, distance from the goal line and degree of applied pressure when judging whether or not to pay a free kick.
Adjustments were made to the interpretation of high tackles, giving the umpire more discretion to call play-on when he deems that the tackled player is responsible for the high contact. This was introduced to discourage the practice of ducking into a tackle, dropping the knees when tackled or trying to shrug off a tackle to earn a free kick.^[3]
A more stringent interpretation of punches to the body was introduced to the match review panel and tribunal to allow for suspensions to be imposed; and, to allow fines to be imposed for low impact jumper punches.

Pre-season

JLT Community Series

The pre-season series of matches returned in 2017 as the newly renamed JLT Community Series, which featured 27 practice matches played over 25 days, beginning on 16 February and ending on 12 March. The matches were stand-alone, with no overall winner of the series. Each team played three games, many at suburban or regional venues, while all games were televised on Fox Footy.

Premiership season

Notable features of the draw include:

The naming rights of York Park were bought by the University of Tasmania from Aurora Energy in the week prior to the full fixture being released, with the venue becoming known as the University of Tasmania Stadium.^[4]
Greater Western Sydney sold the naming rights for Manuka Oval during the AFL season to the University of New South Wales, and the stadium will be known as the UNSW Canberra Oval.^[5]
North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs played in the AFL's first ever Good Friday match, which was played at Etihad Stadium.^[6]^[7]
Port Adelaide and Gold Coast competed in the first AFL premiership match outside of Australia and New Zealand when they played in round eight at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai, China, with the match televised live on the Seven Network.^[8]^[9] Both teams had a bye the following round, while the remaining sixteen teams will have their byes from rounds 11 to 13.^[10]
Due to redevelopment, Simonds Stadium was unavailable until round nine, when Geelong played a Friday night match against reigning premiers the Western Bulldogs.^[11]
The Western Bulldogs will compete in the first AFL premiership match to be played at Mars Stadium in Ballarat when they face Port Adelaide in round 22. The match will also be the first AFL premiership match in a Victorian regional venue (other than Geelong) since a one-off round of promotional matches held in 1952.^[12]
All starting times are local.
