2017–18 UAE League Cup

The 2017–18 UAE League Cup is the tenth season of the UAE League Cup. The competition started on September 4, 2017.

Group matches
All times are local (UTC+04:00).

Knockout phase
The knockout phase involves the first four teams of each of the 2 groups in the group stage.

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advance to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which is played as a single match, if scores are level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remain tied.

The first legs was played on 29 and 30 December 2017, and the second legs will be played on 15 and 16 February 2018.
