The 2017–18 KHL season is the tenth season of the Kontinental Hockey League. The season started on 1 September 2017 and will end in April 2018.
The Croatian club Medveščak Zagreb relocated to the Austrian Hockey League, and Russian club Metallurg Novokuznetsk was relegated to the Supreme Hockey League, to bring the total number of KHL teams to 27.
In this season, like in the 2016–17 season, each team will play every other team once at home and once on the road, giving a total of 52 games (26 at home, 26 on the road), plus 4 additional games (2 at home, 2 on the road) played by each team against rival clubs from its own conference. Thus, each team played a total of 56 games in the regular season.
How the teams are divided into divisions and conferences is shown in the table below.
