MTV назвав номінантів на премію Video Music Award 2017. Претендентів на нагороди у 15 категоріях оголосили у трансляції на Instagram Live.

Цього року MTV не розділяли претендентів за гендерними категоріями: тому категорій «Найкраще чоловіче відео» та «Найкраще жіноче відео» немає.

У 2017 додали категорію Best Fight Against The System.

Номінантів у категорії Best Song of Summer оголосять згодом.

Голосування за 8 категорій стартувало на офіційному сайті. Голосувати для користувачів з України закрито. Переможця у категорії Best New Artist обиратимуть у серпні голосуванням у офіційному Twitter MTV.
