2017–18 UAE League Cup

The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advance to the next round.

If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advances.

If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time is played.

If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.

In the final, which is played as a single match, if scores are level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by penalty shoot-out if scores remain tied.
