Génération Foot, a club based in Sangalkam in the east of Metropolitan Dakar (aka the Dakar Urban Area) won their only national championship title for the season and set a new club record of 52 goals and 57 points and will be appearing in the 2018 CAF Champions League in the following season. Overall it is unbeatable to ASC Diaraf's 54 goals scored in a season and their 72 points made in 2003–04 season, Génération Foot's records are one of the highest in Senegalese top flight football competition, but the highest in the professional Ligue 1. Niane was the best scorer for the season scoring a record number of 19 goals.[2] Last two positions were ASC Linguère and US Gorée who was last year's champion, Gorée was relegated. Due to the Demba Diop stadium crush which occurred on 15 June which was not in the Premier League, US Ouakam was demoted from Ligue 1 and ASC Linguère was relieved from their relegation.

The league comprised 14 teams, with the bottom two relegated to the 2018 Ligue 2.
