The 2017 Eliteserien was the 73rd completed season of top-tier football in Norway. The season began on 1 April 2017 and ended on 26 November 2017, not including play-off matches. This was first season of Eliteserien as rebranding from Tippeligaen.{{cite web | url=https://www.fotball.no/turneringer/eliteserien/2016/spilleplan-2017 | title=Slik spilles Eliteserien 2017 | publisher=www.fotball.no | date=19 December 2016 | access-date=19 December 2016}} Rosenborg were the defending champions, while Kristiansund and Sandefjord entered as the promoted teams from the 2016 1. divisjon.

The 2017 season saw the name of the league change from Tippeligaen (named after sponsor Norsk Tipping) to Eliteserien, a non-sponsor affiliated name controlled by the Football Association of Norway. Rosenborg won their third consecutive title and 25th top-flight title overall, with two games to spare. Rosenborg conceded only 20 goals during the season, a league record.{{cite web |url=https://www.fotballen.eu/Emner/Tippeligaen_statistikk.html |title=Statistikk for den norske Eliteserien |language=no |access-date=26 June 2018 |archive-date=1 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190301105139/https://www.fotballen.eu/Emner/Tippeligaen_statistikk.html |url-status=dead }}

Overview

=Rebranding=

On 28 August 2016, the Football Association of Norway (NFF) and Norsk Toppfotball announced a rebrand; beginning with the 2017 season, the competition was known simply as Eliteserien, without any sponsor's name attached. As part of the rebranding, a new logo was introduced.{{cite web|url=https://www.fotball.no/tema/nff-nyheter/2016/eliteserien---lidenskap-og-fellesskap/ |title=Tippeligaen endrer navn til Eliteserien i 2017 |trans-title=Tippeligaen changes name to Eliteserien in 2017 |publisher=NFF |date=28 August 2016 |access-date=10 December 2018 }}
