You will first want a spare iPhone and a separate Apple ID, as you will not want to run any beta with an iPhone you need to work, or with any data you need available and correct, or with iCloud data you need available and correct.


If you can’t wipe your iPhone and wipe your iCloud without restoring, you do not want to be running a beta.


The path to acquire the beta is here: iOS 17 Preview - Apple

Wait until Apple announces the public beta. But consider that “beta” is short for “beta test”, meaning that this is not a finished product and will contain bugs, some of which will be major and could possibly stop your phone from working. Apple recommends not installing a beta version on your primary device that you cannot do without.
