The 2017 DFL-Supercup was the eighth edition of the German super cup under the name DFL-Supercup, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal competitions. The match was played on 5 August 2017.

The DFL-Supercup featured Borussia Dortmund, the winners of the 2016–17 DFB-Pokal, and Bayern Munich, the winners of the 2016–17 Bundesliga and holders of the competition.

Bayern Munich won the DFL-Supercup 5–4 on penalties following a 2–2 draw after 90 minutes for their sixth title.

Bayern Munich were the reigning champions, having beaten Borussia Dortmund 2–0 in the 2016 edition.

Both teams have won the competition five times, a joint record. The match was Dortmund's second consecutive and ninth overall appearance, with a record of five wins and three losses prior. The match was Bayern's record sixth consecutive and record eleventh overall appearance, with a record of five wins and five losses prior. This was the record sixth super cup between Dortmund and Bayern, having previously met in 1989, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016. Of these, Dortmund have won three (in 1989, 2013, and 2014), while Bayern have won twice (in 2012 and 2016).

This was the first competitive match for Peter Bosz as head coach of Borussia Dortmund, moving from Ajax in the summer to replace Thomas Tuchel.
