The 69th edition of the Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne cycling classic was held on 26 February 2017. It was part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour and ranked as a 1.HC event. The route was 200.7 km (125 mi), starting and finishing in Kuurne. It was the second and concluding race of the Belgian opening weekend, the year's first road races in Northwestern Europe, one day after Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
After finishing second to Greg Van Avermaet in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, world champion Peter Sagan, from Slovakia, won the race for Bora–Hansgrohe. Sagan and four other riders – Belgians Jasper Stuyven (Trek–Segafredo) and Tiesj Benoot (Lotto–Soudal), Italy's Matteo Trentin, riding for the Belgian Quick-Step Floors team, and Team Sky's Luke Rowe from Great Britain – contested a sprint finish, being the survivors of a larger group that broke away from the peloton around the halfway mark of the race, after the Oude Kwaremont.
Twenty-five teams were invited to start the race. These included fourteen UCI WorldTeams, nine UCI Professional Continental teams and two UCI Continental teams.
