The 2017–18 Ascenso MX season is divided into two tournaments named Apertura 2017 and Clausura 2018. Ascenso MX is the second-tier football league of Mexico. The Apertura tournament began on 21 July 2017, and the Clausura tournament began on 5 January 2018.
Only six teams meet full requirements to be promoted to the Liga MX for the 2018–2019 season. Those teams are Atlético San Luis, Atlante, Celaya, Juárez, Sinaloa, and UdeG. The remaining teams would be awarded MXN$120 million for winning the promotion playoff, which should be utilized to fulfill necessary requirements for promotion within the next season, and remain in Ascenso MX. If a team wins promotion but does not meet requirements for Liga MX, the relegated Liga MX team of the 2017–18 season will be obligated to pay the prize money to that team, and the relegated Liga MX team will remain in first division. If the relegated Liga MX team cannot distribute the prize money to the promoted Ascenso MX team, both teams will lose their right to play in Liga MX and must play in Ascenso MX the following season.
16 clubs will participate in this season:
The regular season began on 21 July 2017 and ended on 11 November 2017. Fixtures for the Apertura 2017 season were announced on 13 June 2017. The ninth round of the season, scheduled for 22 and 23 September 2017, was suspended after the 2017 Central Mexico earthquake on 19 September 2017. However, the ninth round was still the next round played, during the FIFA International break on 6,7, and 8 October 2017. The liguilla was played from 15 November to 2 December 2017. Oaxaca won their first title after defeating Juárez on penalties.
