The 2017 FIBA Americas League was the tenth edition of the top-tier level intercontinental professional club basketball competition in the Americas, the FIBA Americas League. Sixteen teams from across the Americas competed over three rounds, to determine the champion. Brazilian teams were not allowed to compete in the competition, due to the suspension of the Brazilian Basketball Confederation by FIBA, in November 2016.
Guaros de Lara were the defending champions, and they successfully defended their title.
