The1917Victorian Football Association season was not played owing toWorld War I, which was at its peak at the time.
To support the war effort inWorld War I, the Association had curtailed its1915 season by five weeks,[1] and then cancelled its1916 season entirely.[2] With the war still ongoing, the Association voted on 5 February 1917 to cancel the 1917 season as well.[3] 1917 was the last Association season cancelled during World War I, with a premiership season held in1918 with a reduced number of clubs.[4]
