This paper considers the reducibility and existence of periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear periodic system with a degenerate equilibrium point under small perturbations. By introducing some parameter, we consider an equivalent periodic system. Then we prove that by an affine linear periodic transformation the parameterized periodic system is reducible to one with zero as an equilibrium. Topological degree theorem ensures that for some parameter the result can go back to the original system. Then, we obtain a small periodic solution.
