The 2017–18 Coupe de la Ligue will be the 24th edition of the French league cup competition. The winners of the league cup will earn a place in the 2018–19 Europa League and begin play in the second qualifying round. Forty-four clubs will participate in the competition.
Paris Saint-Germain are the defending champions after winning the cup in the previous season.
Eleven first round matches were played on 8 August 2017. The twelfth scheduled match was awarded to Nancy as a walkover after Bastia had their professional status removed by the FFF, and thereby did not qualify to participate according to the rules of the competition.
Six second round matches were played between the first round winners on 22 August 2017.
