Žalgiris was the defending champions. Žalgiris successfully defended its title after beating BC Lietuvos rytas in the Final.

Format changes

After a lot of criticism during last year's tournament Lithuanian Basketball League changed distribution of quarterfinals games venues, awarding them directly to seeded teams instead of previously held open draw.[2] LKL Cheerleaders Battles final was added to complement the event alongside traditional Three-point and Slam Dunk contests.[1]

Draw

The draw of the 2018 Karaliaus Mindaugo taurė will be held on 16 January 2018.[1]

Qualified teams

Eight highest ranked teams after the first half of the 2017–18 LKL regular season will qualify to the tournament.[2]
