The 2017 Montreal Alouettes season was the 51st season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 63rd overall. The Alouettes finished the season in fourth place in the East Division with a disappointing 3–15 record. The 15 losses are a team record, breaking the previous record of 14 set during the 1986 season when the team record was 4–14 and during the 1982 season when they finished 2–14.
The Alouettes failed to improve upon their 7–11 record from 2016 and were eliminated from the playoffs on October 9, 2017 after a loss to the Edmonton Eskimos, making this the third straight season they missed the playoffs (it was the first time the team missed the playoffs for three straight years since their re-activation). This was the first season for head coach Jacques Chapdelaine, until he was fired after a 3–8 start and replaced by general manager Kavis Reed on an interim basis. Chapdelaine served as head coach in an interim capacity for six games during the previous season. This was also the first season under new general manager Kavis Reed.[1]
