The 2017–18 Y-League season, commercially known as the Foxtel Y-League, represented the tenth iteration of Australia's Y-League, serving as a vital pathway for nurturing young talent in professional football.
Teams
In April 2017, the FFA Centre of Excellence, previously called the Australian Institute of Sport Football Program, was discontinued. Subsequently, Canberra United acquired a National Youth League licence to take its place.
Format
The structure of the 2017–18 campaign remained consistent with prior seasons, comprising ten National Youth League squads divided into two conferences of five teams each. Conference A included clubs from Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and Queensland, while Conference B featured teams based in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales. Competitors faced off in home-and-away fixtures within their respective groups, culminating in a Grand Final contested by the leading team from each conference.
