Each team can register 5 foreign players in their squad for Metfone Cambodian League, but at least one of those foreign players must be Asian. The team can field 4 foreign players in their lines up for each match, but at least one of them must also be Asian (3+1).
Play-off system has been applied into Metfone Cambodian League 2017, and only the teams in the Top 4 have a chance to clinch the league title. The team that finishes fourth after the regular league matches (22 matches) will play the third place, and the winner will face the second in the semi-final. The winner of the semi-final will take on the league leader (first place) to decide who will be the champions of Cambodia. The two teams that finish at the bottom and eleventh will be relegated to Cambodian League 2.
The champions of Metfone Cambodian League will also be able to play in AFC Cup play-off qualifiers, the second tier of Asian football.
