The 2017 season is Birmingham City Ladies Football Club's seventh season in the FA Women's Super League and at the top level of English women's football, being one of the league's foundation clubs. It is the club's first season as a fully integrated set-up of men's side Birmingham City FC. It is also the club's first season under manager Marc Skinner, following David Parker's departure in December 2016.
Following a reorganisation of top-level women's football in England, the 2017 season will only cover half of a traditional season's length, while the FA WSL shifts its calendar to match the traditional autumn-to-spring axis of football in Europe. For the same reason, there is no Champions League qualification nor relegation to be competed for.
