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.[1] The club qualified for Europe next season, because of another ban of Skënderbeu from European competitions, this time for 10 years.
