I-League 2nd Division
Season2017–18

The 2017–18 I-League 2nd Division will be the 11th season of the I-League 2nd Division, the second division Indian football league, since its establishment in 2008. The season will start with the preliminary rounds from 16 March to 15 May 2018. The final round of the league will take place between 21 May to 27 May 2018 at a neutral venue.[1]

This season will feature 18 teams, divided into three groups of six teams each. The season will also feature the reserve sides of seven Indian Super League clubs, none of which can qualify for the final round.[1]

Format

Just like the previous season, the I-League 2nd Division will feature a preliminary round and a final round.[2] During the preliminary round, the 18 teams will be divided into three groups of six teams each. All the matches during the preliminary round will be played in a double round-robin basis, in which every team plays all others in their group once at home and once away.[1] The winners of the three groups, along with the best second placed team, will qualify for the final round. The seven Indian Super League reserve sides in the league will not be eligible to qualify for the final round.[2]

During the final round, the four teams will face each other in a single-leg league system at a neutral venue, where each team faces each other once. At the end of the round, the team in first will earn promotion to the next division of Indian football.[2]
