The 2017 Atlanta United FC season was the first season of Atlanta United FC's existence, and their first season in Major League Soccer, the top-tier of American soccer. United played at Bobby Dodd Stadium for the first half of the season, then moved into Mercedes-Benz Stadium once it was completed. Atlanta United was coached by Gerardo Martino. Outside of MLS, Atlanta United participated in the 2017 U.S. Open Cup, as well as various preseason competitions.

Atlanta qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs in their first season, becoming the third ever MLS expansion club to qualify for the playoffs in their inagural season, and the first since the Seattle Sounders FC did so in 2009. United were eliminated by the Columbus Crew SC in the opening round of the playoffs, losing in a penalty shoot-out.

This was the first year since 1981 that a first-division American soccer team has played in Atlanta, since the Atlanta Chiefs dissolved.
