Promotion playoff

The promotion playoff was played by three teams: Santiago Wanderers, as the last-placed in the Primera División relegation table, 2016–17 Primera B runners-up San Marcos de Arica, and 2017 Primera B champions Unión La Calera. The two Primera B teams played each other with the winner qualifying to the final against the Primera División team for promotion to the top flight for the 2018 season.

Relegation

Relegation was determined at the end of the season by computing an average of the number of points earned per game over the two most recent seasons: 2016–17 and 2017. The team with the lowest average was relegated to the Segunda División Profesional.
