2017 AR2.0E season
Previous: 2016	Next: 2018
Related: AR2.0NA

The 2017 AutoReject 2.0 Europe season was the first European season of the AutoReject 2.0 series having dropped its previous F1RDS moniker. This new name came as part of a reformat of the series, notably the addition of a North America series, the removal of the Winter Cup whilst introducing a feature and sprint race format along with a new points system. The new identity came as part of a partnership with the former International Formula Reject Challenge, which became AutoReject 3.5 for the 2017 season.

Mineiro was the 2017 champion, beating Iakopo Fuamatu to the title at the final race. Definitely Maybe Racing won the teams' championship.
