Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
Clubs promoted from 2016 China League One
Clubs relegated to 2017 China League One
Tianjin Quanjian and Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng both compete in the Chinese Super League for the first time in their respective histories. 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.

To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 7, but then played between rounds 8 and 9, it will be added to the standings for round 8.
