The 2017–18 Ukrainian Cup was the 27th annual season of Ukraine's football knockout competition. The competition was planned to be started on 9 July 2017 and concluded on 9 May 2018.[2]

This season the competition's administration was passed on to the Football Federation of Ukraine that previously was conducted by both the Premier League and Professional Football League.[1] The number of participants has increased to 52 and is the biggest in the last five years.[1] The FFU also promised to introduce a system of bonuses for this season's competition, yet did not disclosed them.[1]

All competition rounds consisted of a single game with a home field advantage granted to a team from lower league.[1] Qualification for the competition is granted to all professional clubs and finalists of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup as long as those clubs will be able to pass the season's attestation (licensing).

FC Shakhtar Donetsk was the defending winner for the last two seasons. The Donetsk club has reached the competition finals in the last seven years winning five of them.[1] There were around 300 clubs over the history of competition and it is a debut season for seven of them, Dnipro-1, Ahrobiznes, Metalist 1925, Polissya, Tavriya Simferopol, Sudnobudivnyk, and Prykarpattia.[1] Both qualified amateur clubs have already participated in the competition before. It should be mentioned that only 10 clubs participated in every season of the tournament.[1]
