The 2017-18 Scottish League Cup (also known as the Betfred Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 72nd season of Scotland's second-most prestigious football knockout competition. The format for the 2017-18 competition remained the same as that which was introduced in the previous season's competition. It began with eight groups of five teams which included all Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) clubs, excluding those competing in Champions League and Europa League qualifiers, as well as the winners of the 2016-17 Highland Football League (Buckie Thistle) and the 2016-17 Lowland Football League (East Kilbride). The competition was won by Celtic, who beat Motherwell 2-0 in the final on 26 November 2017.
