From the beginning of the 2017 season, Lietava changed its name to FK Jonava.{{Cite web |url=http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1227/lietava-keicia-veida-ir-kelia-ambicingus-tikslus |title="Lietava" keičia veidą ir kelia ambicingus tikslus | FK Lietava |access-date=2018-10-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170216090507/http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1227/lietava-keicia-veida-ir-kelia-ambicingus-tikslus |archive-date=2017-02-16 |url-status=dead }} On 13 February 2017 Lithuanian Football Federation approved the name change.{{cite web|url=https://lff.lt/news/2584/2017-metu-a-lygoje-nepakites-komandu-skaicius-ir-formatas/|title=Patvirtinti 2017 metų A lygos sezono kontūrai|website=LFF.lt|access-date=13 December 2018|archive-date=14 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181014091247/https://lff.lt/news/2584/2017-metu-a-lygoje-nepakites-komandu-skaicius-ir-formatas/|url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1231/lff-patvirtino-nauja-lietavos-pavadinima-ir-a-lygos-tvarkarasti |title=Home Remedy - Home Remedies Shop Reviews |date=15 January 2022 |access-date=13 October 2018 |archive-date=15 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170215210354/http://www.fklietava.lt/naujiena/1231/lff-patvirtino-nauja-lietavos-pavadinima-ir-a-lygos-tvarkarasti |url-status=dead }}
The 2017 season was the best season for the club on record. The team took 6th place in the regular A Lyga season, and finished in the 4th position after the championship round.
For 2018 season club management had ambitious plans. On 11 January 2018, Felipe Ribeiro from Portugal started in a position of the new head coach.{{cite web|url=http://www.fkjonava.lt//naujiena/?id=408|title=Naujasis FK "Jonava" vyriausiasis treneris – portugalas Filipe Ribeiro!|first=Reception|last=IT|website=www.fkjonava.lt|access-date=13 December 2018|archive-date=11 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011214555/http://fkjonava.lt/naujiena/?id=408|url-status=live}} But the club ran into problems and on 15 May 2018, the coach was let go.{{cite web|url=https://www.delfi.lt/a/78000867|title=Rezultatais nusivylusi "Jonava" atsisveikino su treneriu Ribeiro, jį keičia Gvildys|last=fkjonava.lt|website=DELFI|access-date=13 December 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.jonavoszinios.lt/naujiena/kur-dingo-futbolas-jonavoje|title=Kur dingo futbolas Jonavoje?|website=www.jonavoszinios.lt|access-date=13 December 2018|archive-date=11 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011172921/https://www.jonavoszinios.lt/naujiena/kur-dingo-futbolas-jonavoje|url-status=live}} Soon the head coach changed again. The third coach in one season could not save the team from relegation.{{cite web|url=https://www.15min.lt/sportas/naujiena/futbolas/jonava-tures-jau-trecia-treneri-si-sezona-sansa-suteike-arturui-ramoskai-24-1000194|title=Trečią trenerį pristačiusi "Jonava" atleido du žaidėjus|website=15min.lt/sportas|access-date=13 December 2018|archive-date=11 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011173650/https://www.15min.lt/sportas/naujiena/futbolas/jonava-tures-jau-trecia-treneri-si-sezona-sansa-suteike-arturui-ramoskai-24-1000194|url-status=live}} After the regular season the team took 8th position and ended its spell in the A lyga.
