Having been renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League in 2009, the competition entered its 9th season under that name in 2017–18. Manchester United, the defending champions, advanced to the UEFA Champions League as title holders, leaving the Europa League without its reigning holder in contention for a repeat.
The 2017–18 UEFA Europa League was contested across Europe, culminating in a final at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, France. Atlético Madrid defeated Marseille to claim the title, with Manchester United, the defending champions, being eliminated by Sevilla in the Champions League round of 16.
As Europa League winners, Atlético Madrid earned a place in the 2018 UEFA Super Cup against Champions League winners Real Madrid. Their Champions League group stage berth, already secured through La Liga performance, was reallocated to the third-placed team in Ligue 1 under UEFA access list rules.
