The 2017 Orange County SC season was the club's seventh season of existence, their third in the United Soccer League, and their first in the second tier of American soccer. This was the club's first year being branded as Orange County SC after previously being known as Orange County Blues FC from 2014 through 2017 and the LA Blues from 2011 to 2014.
Playing the first season as Orange County SC, the team finished with a record of 11-11-10, 6-6-4 at home. [1] The team played their first four games away due to the ongoing construction of their temporary stadium at Orange County Great Park, while Championship Soccer Stadium was under construction. The first home game was week 7, May 6, 2017, against LA Galaxy II, resulting in a 4-0 Orange County victory. [2] Due to insufficient lighting in the temporary field games started at 5:00 pm PST.
The first game played in the new Championship Soccer Stadium was August 5, 2017, against Tulsa Roughnecks ending in a scoreless draw. [3]
The team finished the season in 10th place in the Western Conference and did not qualify for playoffs, three points behind Sacramento Republic FC in 8th place.
