The 2017 Spring Series Brighton & Hove Albion W.F.C season was a shortened one-off football season that happened between February and May 2017, designed to bridge the gap between transitioning the Women's Super League from a summer schedule to a traditional winter calendar.
The WSL Spring Series and WSL 2 Spring Series happened following the club's promotion from the 2015-16 FA Women's Premier League, when they beat Northern Division champions Sporting Club Albion in the National Premier League play-off final.
New signings Ahead of the WSL Spring Series, the club made four new signings in Alessia Russo, Emma Byrne, Laura Rafferty and Jenna Legg. Russo scored a total of three goals throughout the series including scoring the club's first professional goal since the Women's Super League was established.
