The 2017–18 Pro A season is the 96th season of the Pro A, the top basketball league in France organised by the Ligue nationale de basket (LNB).
On 2 March 2018, Jeep became the new main sponsor of the league and the league was re-named the Jeep Élite.[1]
Orléans Loiret Basket and SLUC Nancy Basket were relegated after the 2016–17 season after the teams ended in the last two places. JL Bourg promoted as the regular season champion of the Pro B season.[2] Boulazac Basket Dordogne was promoted as the winner of the Pro B promotion play-offs.[3]
In the regular season, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The eight first qualified teams will advance to the Playoffs, while the last two qualified teams will be relegated to the Pro B.
The quarter-finals were played in a best-of-three format, while the semi-finals and finals were played in a best-of-five format. The higher seeded team played game one, three and five (if needed) at home. The play-offs began on 22 May 2018.
