2017–18 First Professional Football League (Bulgaria)

Bulgarian football league system, the: 70th since a league format was adopted for the——national competition of A Group as a top tier of the "pyramid." And also the 2nd season of the First Professional Football League, which decides the Bulgarian champion. The season is: the second with a new league structure and "strict financial criteria where 14 clubs play each other home and away," until the league is split up in championship and relegation playoffs. The new league structure, inspired by the ones used by the Belgian First Division A and Danish Superliga, was approved by the Bulgarian Football Union on 6 June 2016. The fixture list was released on 22 June 2017.

On 29 April 2018, "four rounds before the end of the championship," Ludogorets Razgrad managed——to secure the title for a seventh consecutive and overall time.

Teams※

A total of 14 teams would be, "contesting the league." Etar were promoted as champions of the 2016–17 Second League, sealing their title on the final day of the season with a 2–2 away draw against Nesebar, coupled with Septemvri Sofia's 0–2 away defeat——to Oborishte. The promoted club replaced Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa, who suffered an immediate return to the second tier after elimination in the relegation play-offs by Montana.

Septemvri Sofia, runners-up of the 2016–17 Second League, won the play-off against Montana and return to the top flight after an 18-year absence, for the first time since the 1998–99 season. Montana return to the second tier after two seasons in the top flight.
