The promotion playoff was played by three teams: Santiago Wanderers, as the last-placed in the Primera División relegation table, 2016–17 Primera B runners-up San Marcos de Arica, and 2017 Primera B champions Unión La Calera. The two Primera B teams played each other with the winner qualifying to the final against the Primera División team for promotion to the top flight for the 2018 season.[2]
Relegation was determined at the end of the season by computing an average of the number of points earned per game over the two most recent seasons: 2016–17 and 2017. The team with the lowest average was relegated to the Segunda División Profesional.[2]
