# 2017 FC Dallas season

The 2017 FC Dallas season was the club's 22nd season in Major League Soccer, the top tier of the United States soccer league system. Competitive fixtures began in February 2017, when FC Dallas began their matches in the knockout stages of the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League. The club kicked off their 2017 MLS season in March. Dallas entered the season as the defending U.S. Open Cup champions and Supporters' Shield holders, as well as the defending champions for the minor rivalry trophy, the Brimstone Cup.

## Background

FC Dallas is coming off the most successful season in franchise history, earning two major trophies during their 2016 campaign. Last season, the Hoops won the double, by winning the Supporters' Shield for the best regular season record, as well as the 2016 U.S. Open Cup, a domestic knockout competition open to all tiers of the U.S. soccer pyramid. FC Dallas additionally participated in the group stages of the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League where they finished atop their group over Guatemalan outfit, Suchitepéquez, and Nicaraguan outfit, Real Estelí. Argentine forward Maximiliano Urruti led Dallas in 2016 with 10 goals in league play and 13 goals across all competitions.
