The 2017–18 Championnat LNA season is the 17th season of the top tier basketball league in Switzerland.
All teams will play two times against each other for completing 20 games per team.
The six first qualified teams will join the group for places 1 to 6 while the other six teams will play the group for places 7 to 12. These two groups will be played with a one-legged round-robin format, where all teams from group 1 to 6 and the two first qualified teams from the group for the seventh position will be qualified for the playoffs. In this intermediate stage, teams start with the points accumulated by the winnings achieved in the first stage.
The quarterfinals and the semifinals will be played as a best-of-five series while the final in a best-of-seven series.
BBC Lausanne did not continue playing in the SBL and was replaced by Pully and Vevey Riviera.
