This year the 17th of Tammuz is on a Shabbat, and we never fast on Shabbat, except for the Torah-ordained fast of Yom Kippur.
In years when 17th Tammuz is on Shabbat, we fast on Sunday instead.
The same applies 3 weeks later; we will fast on Sunday, 10th Av - details to follow.
So this year we will fast on Sunday 22nd July/18th Tammuz and again on Sunday 5th August/10th Av.

אִם חָלוּ תַעֲנִיוֹת אֵלּוּ בַּשַׁבָּת, דּוֹחִין אוֹתָן לְאַחַר הַשַׁבָּת. אֲבָל אִם חָל עֲשָׂרָה בְּטֵבֵת בְּעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, מִתְעַנִּין וּמַשְׁלִימִין
