2017–18 Sunderland A.F.C. season

The 2017–18 season was Sunderland's 139th season in existence, and their first season in the Championship since 2006 after relegation from the Premier League[3] the previous season. Along with competing in the Championship, the club will also participate in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. The season covers the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018.

Simon Grayson began the season as Sunderland manager, following the departure of David Moyes in May 2017. However, he did not complete the full season, instead being sacked towards the end of October after only one win in his first 15 league matches saw Sunderland rooted to the bottom of the table. He was replaced by former Wales manager Chris Coleman.

Sunderland suffered a second successive relegation on 21 April 2018 after a 2–1 home defeat to fellow struggling side Burton Albion, losing after having led the match 1–0. Results elsewhere meant that they would compete in League One in the 2018/19 season.[4]

The events of the season formed the backdrop to the first series of the documentary programme Sunderland 'Til I Die which was released on Netflix on 14 December 2018.
