The 2017 Tipperary Senior Football Championship was the 127th edition of the Tipperary GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Tipperary, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams with the winner going on to represent Tipperary in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship began with a Group stage before proceeding to a knock-out format.
Loughmore-Castleiney were the defending champions after they defeated Moyle Rovers in the previous years final.[2]
This was Fethard's first ever year in the senior grade after claiming the 2016 Tipperary Intermediate Football Championship title, however they will drop back to the I.F.C. for 2018 after losing the Relegation final. They will be replaced by I.F.C. champions Kiladangan.
The following teams have changed division since the 2016 championship season.
