The 2017 LA Galaxy season was the club's twenty-second season of existence, and their twenty-second season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer.
2017 marked a downturn for the club signalling the end of a dynasty for the Galaxy. It was the first season since 2008 that the Galaxy failed to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, and they finished with the worst record in MLS.
