The 2017–18 season was Jamshedpur's first ever season after they were awarded one of two expansion slots into the Indian Super League.[1] After winning the expansion slot, the club announced the signing of their first head coach, Steve Coppell.[2] The club then went on the assemble their inaugural season squad, bringing in India international Anas Edathodika as their first player and the Spanish defender, Tiri, as their first foreign player.[3][4]

Jamshedpur played their first game on 18 November 2017 against NorthEast United. Despite being down a man due to a sending off, the club managed to hold on for a 0–0 draw.[5] The club then played their first match at home on 1 December against ATK, which turned out to be another 0–0 draw.[6] Throughout the season, scoring goals was a problem for Jamshedpur, with Coppell stating at the halfway mark of the campaign that scoring goals was "a big priority for us".[7] Despite that, Jamshedpur would go on to end the season in fifth, one place below a finals spot, with only 16 goals scored, tied second-lowest in the league in that category.[8]
