Regulations for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season allow for each club to have a minimum of 15 Indian players and a maximum of 18, which include two mandatory under-21 players.{{cite news|title=200 plus Indian Players Vie for Ten ISL Clubs selection|url=http://www.indiansuperleague.com/press-releases/5587-200-plus-indian-players-vie-for-ten-isl-clubs-selection|accessdate=21 July 2017|work=Indian Super League|date=19 July 2017}} Prior to the draft, each club was allowed to retain a maximum of two senior players from the previous season (2016–17 I-League for Bengaluru FC) as well as retaining up to three under-21 players.
The draft had a total of 15 rounds. New expansion side, Jamshedpur FC, had the first pick in both the first and second rounds. Them and Delhi Dynamos, who didn't retain a single player from the previous season, were the only sides who participate in the first round of the draft. The order for which each team participated in the draft was determined on Saturday, 22 July 2017. Clubs also had the option to use an "Instant Trading Card" during the draft which allowed them to trade a picked player to another club.
