The 2017–18 EFL Championship (referred to as the Sky Bet Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the second season of the EFL Championship under its current name, and the twenty-sixth season under its current league structure.

This season notably saw Sunderland become the first English team to be relegated in successive seasons from the top division to the third tier since the champions Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2012 and 2013, and only the third team to do so since the top division was relaunched as the Premier League in 1992.
