The 2017 Premiership Rugby Sevens Series was the eighth Rugby Union 7-a-side competition for the twelve 2017–18 Aviva Premiership Clubs, and the first to not include the four Welsh Regions that compete in the Pro14 since 2013. It was also the first to feature a new format with all 12 teams together in one venue over two days.

The competition was held at Franklin's Gardens on 28 and 29 July.

Format

The twelve teams were split into four groups - A, B, C & D. Each team in the group played each other once, to the World Rugby Laws of the Game - 7s Variations. Based on the result, teams received:

• 4 points for a win
• 2 points for a draw
• 1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less
• 1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match

Following all matches in each group, the winner and runner up in each group progressed to the quarter finals and the third placed team progressed to the bowl semi-final. The winners of each quarter final qualified for the Cup semi-finals, with the losers moving into a new Plate tournament. Thereafter, competition was a simple knockout bracket, with the winner of the Cup final being declared the series winner.
