Malaysia competed in the 2017 Summer Deaflympics which was held in Samsun, Turkey after narrowly missing the opportunity to compete at the 2013 Summer Deaflympics due to the Malaysian players' allegation for not having enough practices to compete at the event.[1] Malaysia sent a delegation consisting of 16 participants for the event though it was earlier announced that only 10 competitors would take part in the multi-sport event.[2][3]This was only the 5th time that Malaysia was eligible participate at the Summer Deaflympics after making its Deaflympic debut in 1993.

Prior to the Deaflympic event, the Malaysian government announced that the medal winners would be rewarded.[4] Malaysia claimed its only medal in the badminton mixed doubles event.[5]
