The 2017–18 SSV Jahn Regensburg season is the 111th season in the club's football history. In 2017–18 the club plays in the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of German football. It was the club's first season back in this league, having won promotion from the 3. Liga in 2016–17 after a play-off victory over TSV 1860 Munich.

The club also takes part in the 2017–18 edition of the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup,

SSV Jahn Regensburg won promotion after beating TSV 1860 Munich in the 2016–17 2. Bundesliga relegation play-offs. The contract of the manager Heiko Herrlich was only valid for the 3. Liga and despite a verbal agreement to continue as manager, Herrlich decided to join Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen instead. On 26 June 2017, Achim Beierlorzer took over as new manager.

In June 2017, the Global Sports Invest AG with CEO Philipp Schober bought 90% of the shares of the SSV Jahn Regensburg GmbH & Co KGaA (the owner of the professional football team) from Bauteam Tretzel, a construction company which is involved in the corruption affair in Regensburg. The management of the club claims not to be involved in the corruption affair concerning campaign donations for mayor Joachim Wolbergs.

Regensburg did not start well in the season. They lost the first league match to a player's blunder in injury time and also lost the second match. In the first round of the DFB-Pokal, they reached the next round with a victory over fellow league side SV Darmstadt 98. The week after, Regensburg won the first three points in the league in an away match against FC Ingolstadt 04.
