The 2017–18 Greek Handball Premier is the 39th season of the Greek Handball Premier, Greece's premier handball league.
A total of 12 teams will participate in this year's edition of the Handball Premier. Of these, 10 sides qualified directly from the 2016–17 season and the play-off winners from each of the two groups of A2 Ethniki were promoted: GAS Kamatero from Group A (for the first time in their history) and XANTH from Group B.
In the semi-finals qualifiers, the teams that finished in places 3 to 6 of the regular season play against each other (the 3rd team of the regular season faces the 6th, while the 4th team faces the 5th) and have to win two games to win the series. Thus, if one team wins two games before all three games have been played, the remaining game is omitted. The team that finished in the higher regular season place, plays the first and the third (if necessary) game of the series at home. The two winners proceed to the championship semi-finals.
In the championship semi-finals, the top two teams of the regular season plus the two teams that qualified from the semi-final qualifiers play against each other and have to win two games to win the series. Thus, if one team wins two games before all three games have been played, the remaining game is omitted. The teams that directly qualified to the semi-finals from the regular season play the first and the third (if necessary) game of the series at home. The two winners proceed to the championship finals.
In the finals, teams playing against each other have to win three games to win the series. Thus, if one team wins three games before all five games have been played, the remaining games are omitted. The team that finished in the higher championship play-off place, is going to play the first, third and fifth (if necessary) game of the series at home. Final games for 3rd and 4th position on 2 wins.
