# 2017 St Patrick's Athletic F.C. season

The 2017 season was St. Patrick's Athletic F.C.'s 88th year in existence and was the Supersaint's 66th consecutive season in the top-flight of Irish football. It was the sixth year that Liam Buckley is the team's manager (in his current spell), following replacing Pete Mahon in December 2011. With the new change to the League of Ireland structure, 3 clubs were set to be relegated from the Premier Division, which has created an intense relegation between many clubs, including Pats' due to their lower budget than previous years following a poor 2016 season in which they finished 7th in the league, making 2017 the first year in 7 years without European football. The relegation battle went right down to the last day of the season, where Pat's secured the necessary point to stay up following a 1–1 draw away to Derry City.

| Home | Away | Third | Fourth |
The club released a new Away kit for the season, with the Home and Third kits being retained from the 2016 season. The club's Main Shirt Sponsor, Clune Construction Company L.P.'s sponsorship deal came to an end leaving a vacancy for a new shirt sponsor. This vacancy was filled when the club voluntarily donated their shirt sponsorship place to local suicide prevention charity, Pieta House.
