The 2017–18 Belgian Cup, called the Croky Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 63rd season of Belgium's annual football cup competition. The competition began on 28 July 2017 and ended with the final on 17 March 2018. Zulte Waregem were the defending champions, but they were eliminated by Club Brugge in the Seventh Round. Standard Liège won the cup, beating Genk after extra time in the final. As the winner, Standard Liège provisionally qualified for the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League Group Stage but, as they finished 2nd in the Belgian Pro League, they participated in the 3rd qualification round of the Champions League.

The Belgian Cup consists of ten rounds, with teams entering at different points, depending on their 2017-18 League standings.

• Rounds 1–3 will be decided by a penalty shoot-out if level after ninety minutes.
• Rounds 4–7 and the quarter-finals will go to extra time if level after ninety minutes with a penalty shoot-out after that if necessary.
• The semi-finals will be decided over two legs with the winner decided on aggregate.
• The final will be a single match with extra-time and penalties if necessary.

The draw for the first five rounds was made on 19 June 2017.^[1]
