2nd Artem Laguta
3rd Václav Milík

The championship was won by Andžejs Ļebedevs, who claimed the title for the first time. Despite not winning a round, he finished in second place three times, leaving him seven points clear of Russia's Artem Laguta in the final standings. Last year's runner-up Václav Milík finished third, while Krzysztof Kasprzak and Andreas Jonsson secured the final spots in the 2018 line-up by finishing forth and fifth respectively.

For the 2017 season, 15 permanent riders were joined at each SEC Final by one wild card and two track reserves. Defending champion, Nicki Pedersen from Denmark was automatically invited to participate in all final events. Václav Milík, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Grigory Laguta and Leon Madsen secured their participation in all final events thanks to being in the top five of the general classification in the 2016 season. Seven riders qualified through the SEC Challenge and the line-up was then completed when Artem Laguta, Andreas Jonsson and Andžejs Ļebedevs received and accepted wild cards to compete.
