The 2017 season was Malmö FF's 106th in existence, their 82nd season in Allsvenskan and their 17th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan where they finished first, and the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League where they were knocked out in the second qualifying round. Malmö FF also participated in one competition in which the club continued playing in for the 2018 season, the 2017–18 Svenska Cupen. The season began with the first Allsvenskan match on 1 April and the season concluded with the last league match on 5 November.

For the second time in recent years, Malmö FF won back to back league titles, claiming their 20th Swedish championship. The club had previously won back to back titles in 2013 and 2014. Magnus Pehrsson was appointed new head coach after the departure of Allan Kuhn at the end of last season. The club failed to repeat the UEFA Champions League group stage success of previous years, exiting the competition at the first hurdle in the second qualifying round against Macedonian club FK Vardar.
