The 2017 Michigan Wolverines football team, sometimes known as Team 138 in reference to the 138-year tradition of the Michigan football program, is an American football team that represents the University of Michigan during the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Wolverines play in the East Division of the Big Ten Conference and play their home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Michigan is coached by Jim Harbaugh, who will be in his third season.

Michigan played a public spring exhibition game in Michigan Stadium on Saturday, April 15. The announced attendance was 57,418. Kicker Kyle Seychel kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired to secure a 31-29 win for the Maize Team over the Blue Team.

The Michigan football team traveled to Italy for a week in late April for training, sight-seeing, and brand exposure. The team held three public practices and hosted other publicity events. Coach Jim Harbaugh was offered the opportunity to meet Pope Francis, during which he gifted the Pope an authentic Michigan helmet and a pair of Michigan-themed Jordan Brand shoes.

Michigan's recruiting class consisted of 30 recruits, including 11 that enrolled early. Michigan's recruiting class was ranked No. 3 by Scout, No. 4 by Rivals, No. 6 by ESPN, and No. 5 by 247Sports.com's composite rankings. The class was considered one of Michigan's strongest recruiting classes from the modern era, and was highlighted by composite 5-star prospects WR Donovan Peoples-Jones and DL Aubrey Solomon.
