The present invention relates to a method by which a terminal receives an enhanced downlink control channel in a wireless communication system, and to an apparatus for same. In detail, the method for detecting downlink control information includes the steps of receiving information about a specific subframe for an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), and monitoring the determined number of resource blocks according to available resource regions of the specific subframe in order to detect downlink control information, wherein, when the available resource region is restricted, the number of resource blocks is increased.
