2017–18 Scottish League Two
The 2017–18 Scottish League Two was the 23rd season in the current format of 10 teams in the fourth-tier of Scottish football. The last placed team entered a play-off with a team nominated by the Scottish Football Association from outside the SPFL determining which team enters League Two in the 2018–19 season. The fixtures were published on 23 June 2017.
Ten teams contested the league: Annan Athletic, Berwick Rangers, Clyde, Cowdenbeath, Edinburgh City, Elgin City, Montrose, Peterhead, Stenhousemuir and Stirling Albion.

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.| Leader - Promotion to 2018–19 Scottish League One | |

League Two play-offs
The first round was contested between the winners of the 2017–18 Highland Football League and the 2017–18 Lowland Football League. The winners then played against the bottom club in League Two, and would have been promoted to League Two for the 2018–19 season if they had won.Due to fixture congestion in the Highland League preventing a champion being crowned in time, the dates for the first round were pushed back a week.
