Jamshedpur began their first ever season away from home against NorthEast United on 18 November 2017. Jamshedpur defender André Bikey was sent off in the 77th minute – eight minutes after coming on as a substitute – after a high-booted challenge on NorthEast United forward Luis Alfonso Páez. Despite their man disadvantage, Jamshedpur managed to hold NorthEast United to a 0–0 draw.{{cite news|title=Another goalless draw|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/sports/another-goalless-draw-187237|accessdate=23 November 2017|work=The Telegraph|location=Kolkota|date=17 November 2017|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201080818/https://www.telegraphindia.com/sports/another-goalless-draw-187237|url-status=dead}} The same result would occur only six days later in Jamshedpur's second match against the Kerala Blasters at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.{{cite web|title=Kerala Blasters 0–0 Jamshedpur|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/11/24/india/indian-super-league/kerala-blasters/jamshedpur/2597750/|website=Soccerway|access-date=22 July 2021|archive-date=23 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201023095314/https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/11/24/india/indian-super-league/kerala-blasters/jamshedpur/2597750/|url-status=live}}

The club entered December with their home opener against ATK at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. Despite the home advantage, Steve Coppell's men finished the match with another 0–0 draw.{{cite web|title=Jamshedpur 0–0 ATK|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/12/01/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/atletico-de-kolkata/2597756/|website=Soccerway|access-date=22 July 2021|archive-date=6 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180306102616/https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/12/01/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/atletico-de-kolkata/2597756/|url-status=live}} After the match, Coppell said that Jamshedpur being held scoreless for three matches wasn't a problem and that he was happy that the team were able to keep three consecutive clean sheets to start the season.{{cite news|title=Misfiring Delhi takes on Jamshedpur|url=http://www.sportstarlive.com/football/isl/isl-misfiring-delhi-takes-on-jamshedpur/article21267462.ece|accessdate=6 December 2017|work=SportsStarLive|date=6 December 2017|archive-date=22 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210722102100/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/isl/isl-misfiring-delhi-takes-on-jamshedpur/article21267462.ece|url-status=live}} In their next match, Jamshedpur returned to the road as they took on the Delhi Dynamos at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Despite the match being goalless at halftime, Jamshedpur soon scored their first ever goal with Izu Azuka heading the ball past opposing goalkeeper Albino Gomes in the 61st minute. Jamshedpur would go on to win the match 1–0, their first three points ever and their fourth consecutive clean sheet.{{cite news|last1=Bhattacharya|first1=Aditya|title=Azuka strike gives Jamshedpur maiden goal, Dynamos slip to third straight loss|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/top-stories/azuka-strike-gives-jamshedpur-maiden-goal-dynamos-slip-to-third-straight-loss/articleshow/61952278.cms|accessdate=6 December 2017|work=The Times of India|date=6 December 2017|archive-date=7 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171207140019/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/top-stories/azuka-strike-gives-jamshedpur-maiden-goal-dynamos-slip-to-third-straight-loss/articleshow/61952278.cms|url-status=live}}

Entering 2018, Steve Coppell stated that he was desperate for Jamshedpur to start scoring goals, having only scored two in their first seven matches. "That hasn't happened so far even with the penalty but I'm confident that we will score goals and the sooner the better. It's a big priority for us," he stated.{{cite news|title=Steve Coppell desperate for Jamshedpur to score goals|url=https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/steve-coppell-desperate-for-jamshedpur-to-score-goals|accessdate=5 January 2018|work=Indian Super League|date=4 January 2018|archive-date=10 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200910205448/https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/steve-coppell-desperate-for-jamshedpur-to-score-goals|url-status=live}} Jamshedpur played their first match of the year on 5 January at home against Mumbai City. Despite going down early through a goal from Thiago Santos, Jamshedpur's Izu Azuka managed to score a brace right before halftime to give Coppell's men the lead. However, Thiago Santos found an equalizer for Mumbai City in the 71st minute as the match ended 2–2.{{cite web|title=Jamshedpur 2–2 Mumbai City|url=https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/05/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/mumbai-city/2597782/|website=Soccerway|access-date=6 January 2018|archive-date=6 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180106120322/https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/05/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/mumbai-city/2597782/|url-status=live}} The match saw the return of Anas Edathodika, who had been injured since the first match of the season.{{cite news|last1=Banerjee|first1=Ritabrata|title=Jamshedpur FC Coach Steve Coppell – This Was Our Best Performance|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/news/isl-2017-18-jamshedpur-mumbai-city-steve-coppell/zs8fd19l7nrs172m5r0tsu7pk|accessdate=5 January 2018|work=Goal.com|date=5 January 2018|archive-date=6 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180106173055/http://www.goal.com/en-in/news/isl-2017-18-jamshedpur-mumbai-city-steve-coppell/zs8fd19l7nrs172m5r0tsu7pk|url-status=live}}

During the match, despite the defensive work put in by Jamshedpur, it was Goa who managed to take the lead going into halftime. Brandon Fernandes was brought down in the box by André Bikey and Manuel Lanzarote converted the penalty a second time after the first one, which he also scored, was disallowed. Jamshedpur soon pulled one back in the 54th minute with Matheus Gonçalves scoring the equalizer. However, it was Goa who would take the three points as Lanzarote again found the back of the net after a throughball from Brandon Fernandes.

Jamshedpur then returned home on 17 January 2018 for their match against the Kerala Blasters.

Jamshedpur managed to hold on in the end for a 2–1 victory.

Four days later, Jamshedpur hosted last place Delhi Dynamos. Steve Coppell opted for the same line-up that earned Jamshedpur victory in their last match against the Kerala Blasters.{{cite web|title=Jamshedpur 3–2 Delhi Dynamos|url=https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/21/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/delhi-dynamos/2597796/|website=Soccerway|access-date=22 July 2021|archive-date=22 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180122235040/https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/21/india/indian-super-league/jamshedpur/delhi-dynamos/2597796/|url-status=live}} The match started out in the worst way for Jamshedpur as they found themselves down 2–0 by the 22nd minute with Kalu Uche securing a brace through two headers.

Matheus Gonçalves then scored the winner in the 86th minute off a pass from Wellington Priori. The 3–2 victory moved Jamshedpur to 5th place, only behind fourth placed Goa on goal difference.

After the match against Delhi Dynamos, Jamshedpur began a run of three straight away games. On 24 January 2018, the club took on Pune City at the Balewadi Stadium. Despite Wellington Priori putting the club up 1–0 in the 29th minute, two defensive lapses saw Pune City take the lead 2–1 by the 66th minute a take the three points.{{cite web|title=Pune City 2–1 Jamshedpur|url=https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/24/india/indian-super-league/pune-city/jamshedpur/2597798/|website=Soccerway|access-date=22 July 2021|archive-date=30 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130091633/https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2018/01/24/india/indian-super-league/pune-city/jamshedpur/2597798/|url-status=live}} Jamshedpur's next match away against ATK at the Salt Lake Stadium would be a better result.

Jamshedpur entered the month of February with a match against Mumbai City at the Mumbai Football Arena.
