The 2017 Formula STCC Nordic season was the fifth season of the single seater championship that supports 2017 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season. Previously it went under the name of Formula Renault 1.6 Nordic but the name was changed after Renault Sport dropped its support for the 3.5 and 1.6 classes in late 2015. The season began on 4 May at Ring Knutstorp and concluded on 16 September at Mantorp Park after seven rounds.
The season started on 4 May at Ring Knutstorp and finished on 16 September at Mantorp Park, with six of the seven scheduled double-header rounds supporting STCC. Rounds denoted with a blue background were part of the Formula STCC NEZ Championship.
Hugo Nerman qualified on pole for race 1 based on 2nd fastest qualifying lap, but was handed a 5-place grid penalty. Konsta Lappalainen effectively started on pole, but Nerman was not stripped from the pole point.
