The Lions started the 2017 season on the road against the no. 6 North Alabama Lions from the Gulf South Conference. The game was originally scheduled to be played a day earlier, on August 31, but was postponed due to Hurricane Harvey.

The first half was a defensive battle between the two teams, with only two drives not ending in a punt, both by North Alabama. The first drive was in the first quarter when Dre Hall caught a 20-yard pass from Blake Hawkins to put North Alabama up 7–0 following Chandlr Carrera's kick. The second drive occurred in the second quarter when Carrera missed a 37-yard field goal. Commerce would finally get on the board on its first drive of the second half, with Kristov Martinez making a 30-yard field goal. On North Alabama's following possession, Carrera would miss another field goal, this time from 42 yards. Commerce's next three drives would end with Luis Perez throwing an interception. Commerce would score again with 4:18 left when Blake Hawkins was tackled in his own endzone by Chris Smith, resulting in a safety. On the following drive, Martinez would make a 30-yard field goal to give Commerce a 8–7 lead with 1:12 left. North Alabama attempted a 55-yard field goal on the next drive, this time by Joe Gurley, but the kicked was blocked and recovered by Commerce with 12 seconds remaining in the game.
