League tables

2017 National Premier League WA

The 2017 National Premier League WA season was played over 26 rounds commencing in February 2017, followed by a Top 4 Finals series. A revised Relegation system for the bottom team will depend on whether the two Division 1 teams that meet NPL WA eligibility criteria finish in the top 4 of the league season. If either come first, the bottom team will be relegated, but if one comes second, third or fourth, then there will be a Promotion/Relegation playoff.[1]

As both Forrestfield United and South West Phoenix met the requirement criteria for NPL WA eligibility,[1] if either came first in the league then they would be promoted to the 2018 NPL Western Australia. But as neither came first, then Forrestfield as the highest of the two - that came either second, third or fourth - played a two-legged Promotion and Relegation Play-Off against Mandurah City.
