It featured 11 teams from Kerala affiliated to the KFA competing for the Trophy. The league is played in a home and away format for the first time. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. At the end of the season a table of the final League standings is determined, based on the following criteria in this order: points obtained, goal difference, and goals scored.
"We have eight confirmed teams and four are private clubs: Gokulam FC (Manjeri), Quartz (Kozhikode), FC Thrissur, FC Kerala (also from Thrissur),One more club, SAT from Tirur, is likely to be included which could make it five private clubs this time."
P. Anilkumar, the Kerala Football Association secretary, on 24 January 2017
