The men's tournament in American football at the 2017 World Games in Wrocław was played between 22 and 24 July.

Since IFAF Paris was recognized by the IWGA and International Olympic Committee at the time, the United States Federation of American Football was permitted to organize the United States national American football team for the 2017 World Games.

Players, mainly professional Americans playing in Europe, were chosen for the team on May 31, 2017.

Players were promised full funding from the United States Federation of American Football; however, the funding was withdrawn just days before the competition and players had to provide their own transportation to Wroclaw.

As a result, most of the team withdrew from the competition and were instead replaced by volunteers who were already in Europe at the time.
