The 2017–18 Telenet UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup is a season long cyclo-cross competition, organised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup is taking place between 17 September 2017 and 28 January 2018, over a total of nine events. The defending champions are Wout van Aert in the men's competition and Sophie de Boer in the women's competition.

Points distribution

Points were awarded to all eligible riders each race. The top ten finishers received points according to the following table:

**Points awarded**
Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Elite riders^[1]^[a]	80	70	65	60	55	50	48	46	44	42
U23/Junior riders^[1]	60	50	45	40	35	30	28	26	24	22

Elite riders finishing in positions 11 to 50 also received points, going down from 40 points for 11th place by one point per place to 1 point for 50th place.^[1]
For the age group riders (excluding under-23 women), those finishing in positions 11 to 30 also received points, going down from 20 points for 11th place by one point per place to 1 point for 30th place.^[1] As well as this, only the top four scores for each rider count towards the World Cup standings.^[4]

Events

In comparison to last season, the races in Las Vegas, Rome (Fiuggi) and Valkenburg were replaced by Bogense, Nommay and Waterloo. The race in Bogense marked the first ever Cyclo-cross World Cup in Denmark, as a precursor to the 2019 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships being held there.^[5]
