# 2017–18 FK Partizani Tirana season

In the 2017–18 season, Partizani Tirana competed in the Kategoria Superiore for the fifth consecutive season. The season was the worst since 2014, because Partizani finished in fifth place, after a disastrous beginning and a bad form during the big part of the season. The club qualified for Europe next season, because of another ban of Skënderbeu from European competitions, this time for 10 years.
