The 2017â18 Danish Superliga season was the 28th season of the Danish Superliga, which decides the Danish football championship. Copenhagen are the defending champions.
Esbjerg fB finished as loser in the relegation play-offs in the 2016â17 season and was relegated to the 2017â18 1st Division along with Viborg FF who lost their relegation play-off as well.
The relegated teams were replaced by 2016â17 1st Division champions Hobro IK (returned after one year of absence) and 3rd-place finisher FC Helsingør (returned to the top division for the first time since the 1936â37 season), who defeated Viborg FF in the two legged play-off finals.
