In October, Pogorilaya competed at the 2017 Skate Canada International, placing second in the short program, 10th in the free skate, and 9th overall. She withdrew from her next Grand Prix event, the 2017 Skate America. Due to her back problems, she withdrew from the Russian Championships, saying that she was unable to train and that her season was over. After half a year off the ice and undergoing rehab to strengthen her muscles, she resumed skating, coached by Tsareva at a new rink.
