The 2017–18 UEFA Champions League knockout phase began on 13 February and ended on 26 May 2018 with the final at the NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv, Ukraine, to decide the champions of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League.^[1] A total of 16 teams competed in the knockout phase.^[2]

Times are CET/CEST,^{[note 1]} as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).

Round and draw dates

The schedule of the knockout phase was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).^[1]

Round	Draw	First leg	Second leg
Round of 16	11 December 2017	13–14 & 20–21 February 2018	6–7 & 13–14 March 2018
Quarter-finals	16 March 2018	3–4 April 2018	10–11 April 2018
Semi-finals	13 April 2018	24–25 April 2018	1–2 May 2018
Final		26 May 2018 at NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kyiv

Format

The knockout phase involved the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time were played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if scores remained tied.^[2]

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

• In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners were seeded, and the eight group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
• In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other.
