Pre-season and friendlies
On 30 August 2016 Flamengo announced that would take part of 2017 Florida Cup, although on 12 December 2017 the club forfeit from the pre-season competition due to the reschedule of its pre-season training, instead the club would have all the preparation to the 2017 season in its recently opened training ground, Ninho do Urubu. The change was caused by the LaMia Flight 2933 accident with Chapecoense that forced change of dates in the end of 2016 Brazilian season.

On 11 January 2017 it was announced that the first pre-season match would be against Vila Nova, at Estádio Olímpico de Goiânia. On the next day it was confirmed that the match would be held at Estádio Serra Dourada.

Copa Libertadores
The draw of the tournament was held on 21 December 2016, 20:00 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.

Although assembling a strong team aiming a strong result at Copa Libertadores, Flamengo had a disappointing campaign in the group stage. The club won all three matches at home with the highest attendance average of the competition, but lost all three away matches, including the last match in Buenos Aires against San Lorenzo suffering a goal in the injury time.
