The 2017 season was Hull Kingston Rovers' first and only consecutive season playing in England's second division of rugby league. During the season, they competed in the 2017 RFL Championship, securing immediate promotion back to the Super League, and the 2017 Challenge Cup.

Following the sacking of head coach Chris Chester during the 2016 season, Hull Kingston Rovers announced in September 2016 that former Australia national rugby league team and Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens would be the club's head coach from the 2017 season onwards.[3]
