The 2017–18 season was Újpest Football Club's 113th competitive season, 107th consecutive season in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 116th year in existence as a football club. In addition to the domestic league, Újpest participated in that season's editions of the Magyar Kupa.
Besides Újpest, Vasas also played their matches at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion during the season due to the ongoing construction of the Illovszky Rudolf Stadion.
The club reached their 17th Magyar Kupa final, where they won the match 5–4 on penalties following a 2–2 draw after extra time for their tenth title against Puskás Akadémia. Following the cup success, Újpest secured the 3rd place in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, after a 2–1 win against Debrecen in the last round.
This was the first ever season since 2006–07 without former captain Szabolcs Balajcza, who departed for Siófok in the summer and first time since 2010–11 without Balázs Balogh who departed to Puskás Akadémia.
