This page covers all relevant details regarding Cherno More for all official competitions inside the 2017–18 season. These are the First Professional Football League and the Bulgarian Cup.

Due to the ongoing repair works at Ticha Stadium, the team played its first home league game at Kavarna Stadium in Kavarna.[1]

On 21 September 2017, following a streak of poor results and Bulgarian Cup elimination by Montana, manager Georgi Ivanov resigned.[2] Assistant coach Emanuel Lukanov was immediately appointed as caretaker manager. As results didn't improve, on 28 December he was replaced with Ilian Iliev, his second tenure as Cherno More manager.[3]

Pre-season and friendlies

As of 16 June 2017, Cherno More have announced 5 pre-season friendlies against Levski Sofia, Beroe, Septemvri Sofia,[50] Bnei Yehuda and Dunărea Călărași.[51] The Israeli club replaced the initially announced Sozopol. The final summer pre-season friendly was supposed to be against Dobrudzha Dobrich but they refused to participate due to organizational issues and were replaced by the Romanian club.[52] On 14 December 2017, the club announced the final two friendlies for the winter pre-season, against Ludogorets Razgrad II and Pomorie.[53] The first winter pre-season match was announced a week later.[54] On 7 January 2018, the full schedule of the winter pre-season was announced, with 5 friendlies on Turkish soil: against Krylia Sovetov on 24 January, Lokomotiv Tashkent on 29 January, and Pyunik on 31 January.[55] Two more friendlies remained to be arranged. They were announced on 17 January, encounters with Tirana on 23 January and Dunărea Călărași on 31 January.[56] Subsequently, the friendly against the Armenian club was rearranged with Tosno.[57] On 21 March, another friendly was arranged during the international break, against Chernomorets Balchik.[58]
