The 2017 A Lyga was the 28th season of the A Lyga, the top-tier association football league of Lithuania. The season began on 3 March 2017 and ended on 19 November 2017.{{cite web|title=2017 metų LFF A lygos čempionato tvarkaraštis|url=http://lff.lt/files/documents/164/2017%20met%C5%B3%20LFF%20A%20lygos%20%C4%8Dempionato%20tvarkara%C5%A1tis.pdf|publisher=Lithuanian Football Federation|access-date=16 February 2017|language=lt|date=13 February 2017}}

All eight teams from the previous season remained and competed in the league, while Žalgiris Vilnius began the season as defending champions having won fourth consecutive league title last year.

Sūduva Marijampolė won the championship for the first time in their 96-year history, becoming the eighth club to win the league since its creation in 1991.

Teams

A total of eight teams should have contested the league, including six sides from the previous season, one promoted from the 2016 LFF I Lyga and the winners of the 2016 A Lyga Relegation play-offs.{{cite web|title=2017 m.

Utenis managed to withstand against I Lyga runners-up Palanga in the play-offs and for the 3rd consecutive season continued to play in the A Lyga.

2015 LFF I Lyga champions FK Lietava changed they name to FK Jonava after received permission from Lithuanian Football Federation.{{cite web|title="Lietava" keičia veidą ir kelia ambicingus tikslus|url=http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1227/lietava-keicia-veida-ir-kelia-ambicingus-tikslus|publisher=FK „Lietava“|access-date=16 February 2017|language=lt|date=6 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216090507/http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1227/lietava-keicia-veida-ir-kelia-ambicingus-tikslus|archive-date=16 February 2017|url-status=dead}}

Kauno Žalgiris were relegated at the end of 2016 season and replaced by 2016 LFF I Lyga champions Šilas. It was going to be a debut in the top tier for Kazlų Rūda team.{{cite web|title=Patvirtinti 2017 metų A lygos sezono kontūrai|url=http://lff.lt/news/2584/patvirtinti-2017-metu-a-lygos-sezono-konturai/|publisher=Lithuanian Football Federation|access-date=16 February 2017|language=lt|date=13 February 2017}}{{cite news|last1=Remeika|first1=Vilmantas|title=Kazlų Rūdos "Šilas" veržiasi į futbolo elitą|url=http://lzinios.lt/lzinios/Futbolas/kazlu-ruda-verziasi-i-futbolo-elita/232096|access-date=16 February 2017|work=Lietuvos Žinios|date=27 October 2016|language=lt}}

Before the beginning of the season, newcomers Šilas were accused of match-fixing during a 2017 Virsligas Winter Cup match with FS METTA.{{cite news|last1=Suveizda|first1=Agris|title="Šilas" izslēgta no Ziemas kausa|url=http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/virsliga/17022017-babites_speles_izmeklesana_turpinas_aizdo|access-date=24 February 2017|work=Sportacentrs.com|date=17 February 2017|language=lv}}{{cite news|title="Šilą" įtaria nešvariais žaidimais|url=http://www.sportas.info/naujienos/36280-sila_itaria_nesvariais_zaidimais.html|access-date=24 February 2017|work=Sportas.info|date=17 February 2017|language=lt}} Soon after Lithuanian Football Federation started an investigation to determine validity of these claims.{{cite web|title=Pradėtas tyrimas dėl kontrolinių rungtynių Latvijoje|url=http://lff.lt/news/2603/pradetas-tyrimas-del-kontroliniu-rungtyniu-latvijoje/|publisher=Lithuanian Football Federation|access-date=24 February 2017|language=lt|date=17 February 2017}} At the time all club trainings and friendly matches were revoked.{{cite news|title="Šilas" nesitreniruoja.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
