2017 United Women's Soccer season

The 2017 United Women's Soccer season was the 23nd season of pro-am women's soccer in the United States, and the 2nd season of the UWS league.

Changes from 2016

Detroit Sun FC, FC Indiana, Fort Wayne United Soccer Club, Grand Rapids FC, Indy Premier SC, Michigan Legends FC, and Toledo Villa FC joined the league and were placed in the newly formed Midwest Conference.
Syracuse Developmental Academy, Western New York Flash, and Rochester Lady Lancers joined the league and were placed in the East Conference.
Calgary Foothills WFC and So Cal Crush FC joined the league and were placed in the West Conference.
The league championship moved to a four-team format, with one representative from each conference (the West conference champions, the winner of the four-team Midwest playoffs, and the winner of a two-team East playoff) and a fourth wild-card team to be determined by record, strength of schedule, travel concerns, and other factors. These four teams are then seeded and play two semifinal matches, with the winners playing in the finals for the league title.
