# 2017 in Queensland soccer

The 2017 Football Queensland season was the fifth season since NPL Queensland commenced as the top tier of Queensland men’s football. Below NPL Queensland was a regional structure of ten zones with their own leagues. The strongest of the zones was Football Brisbane with its senior men’s competition consisting of five divisions.
The NPL Queensland premiers qualified for the National Premier Leagues finals series, competing with the other state federation champions in a final knockout tournament to decide the National Premier Leagues Champion for 2017.
On 8 December 2016 Football Queensland announced the commencement in 2018 of a 14 team second competition beneath a 14 team NPL Queensland, with promotion and relegation between the two tiers. The 28 clubs selected to participate in NPL Queensland and the FQPL were initially announced on 29 May 2017. The final list of clubs offered licences was made of 3 August 2017, with 12 clubs from Football Brisbane competitions (10 BPL and 2 CL1) to join the Football Queensland leagues in 2018. As a result, on 4 August 2017 Football Brisbane announced the restructure of its men's league for the 2018 season, with most clubs effectively moving up one division.
