The 2017–18 season is AEK Athens Football Club's 57th competitive season in the top flight of Greek football, 8th season in the Super League Greece, and 94th year in existence as a football club. They also compete in the Greek Cup and in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2007–08 season, having earned the first position in playoffs for the first time last season.

Events

June 7, 2017 Ilias Vouras and Christos Aravidis leave the club as their contract is not renewed.^[1]
June 9, 2017 AEK players Anastasios Bakasetas, Petros Mantalos and Ognjen Vranješ face each other at an international national team match for 2018 World Cup qualifying round, between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Greece, at Bilino Polje Stadium, Zenica. Mantalos and Vranješ played all 90 minutes, Mantalos missing a great chance for Greece at 82nd minute, when shot the ball out at a one-on-one against Asmir Begović. The match ended 0–0, satisfying Greece, who needed at least the draw to stay at the top two places.
June 10, 2017 In Nea Philadelphia the presentation of the book from journalist Nikos Angelidis called "Every AEK of the world" took place. The book had as a subject the 302 clubs of the world that are named or were named after AEK and have the two-headed eagle as an emblem. AEK FC president, Evangelos Aslanidis went to the presentation and made a speech. AEK FC is a sponsor of the book.^[2]
June 14, 2017 The minister of infrastructure, transport and networks, Christos Spirtzis, signs the necessary height-related study for Agia Sophia Stadium, the proposed stadium for AEK in Nea Philadelphia. As the club's official announcement states, the particular study was "the last obstacle" for the start of the construction of the stadium, and the official construction license for the stadium is about to be published "within the next days".^[3]
June 21, 2017 Portuguese left-back Hélder Lopes signs a two-year deal with AEK, in a free transfer from Las Palmas.^[4]
June 27, 2017 Ronald Vargas and Dimitrios Kolovetsios leave the club as no deal for their announcement was made.^[5]
June 29, 2017 Greek-Belgian winger Viktor Klonaridis signs a three-year deal with AEK from RC Lens.^[6] On the same day, Lamia F.C. announced a loan transfer of Stavros Vasilantonopoulos from AEK.^[7]
July 1, 2017 Croatian striker Marko Livaja signs from Las Palmas on a season long loan deal for €200,000 with a purchase option of €1,800,000 in the summer of 2018. Livaja became the third player which was transferred from Las Palmas to AEK within 2017, after Sergio Araujo and Hélder Lopes.^[8]
