The 2017–18 Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball season will began with practices in October 2017, followed by the start of the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season in November. Conference play will begin in December 2017 and will conclude in March with the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

This season marks the first season with Valparaiso as a member of the conference. The Crusaders were invited to join the conference after Wichita State left the conference to join the American Athletic Conference.

Drake's fourth-year head coach Ray Giacoletti resigned on December 6, 2016 after the first eight games of the season. Assistant coach Jeff Rutter was named interim head coach. Following the season, the school chose not to keep Jeff Rutter as head coach and hired Niko Medved, former head coach at Furman, as the Bulldogs' new head coach.
