The 1917–18 Campeonato Regional Centro (English: 1917–18 Madrid Championship) was the 15th staging of the Regional Championship of Madrid, formed to designate the champion of the region and the qualifier for 1918 Copa del Rey.[1][2][3][4]

League table

A third division below the 1st category B, called 2ª Preferente (2nd Preferential) was introduced for the 1917–18 season. The division included Recreativo Español, Madrid FC's third reserve team, and Unión SC's second reserve team.

This was the first season in which a club was relegated to the second division. Stadium FC, who had been newly promoted to the 1st category A, finished at the bottom of the table qualifying for the relegation play-offs with Unión SC, winner of the 1st category B. Unión SC won two of the three play-off matches between the teams earning promotion to the 1st category A, while Stadium FC was relegated to 1st category B for the 1918–19 season.
