The 2017–18 season was Luceafărul Oradea's 12th season in the Romanian football league system, and their 4th season in the Liga II. The club started the season with Ioan Blidaru as owner, Cornel Țălnar as coach and with Liga I promotion ambitions. After a very bad start and some tensions in the squad and leadership of the team Blidaru retired and the club was one step away from the dissolution. Shortly the team was bought by Nicolae Sarcină and saved from disappearance, but most of the players left the club and a squad reconstruction in the middle of the season was not easy, so Luceafărul has had oscillating evolutions.
