The 2018 Girabola is the 40th season of top-tier football in Angola. The season started on 10 February 2018.
The league comprised 16 teams, the bottom three of which will be relegated to the 2019 Provincial stages.
A total of 16 teams will contest the league, including 13 sides from the 2017 season and three promoted from the 2017 Gira Angola - Cuando Cubango FC, Domant FC and Sporting de Cabinda.
On the other hand, Progresso da Lunda Sul, ASA and Santa Rita de Cássia were the last three teams of the 2017 season and will play in their respective provincial leagues seeking qualification for the 2018 2nd division qualifiers. Clube Desportivo Primeiro de Agosto are the defending champions from the 2017 season.
In late April, J.G.M. submitted a withdrawal request to the Angolan Football Federation citing financial reasons. The request was granted. As a result, all points won in games against J.G.M. were withdrawn.
FIFA has instructed the Angolan Football Federation that Kabuscorp should forfeit 6 points as a result of being in default to their former star player Rivaldo. In a weekly report issued by the Angolan federation, it is further stated that the club may be banned from official competition in case the claimant files a new complaint.
Relegated: ASA, Progresso da Lunda Sul, Santa Rita de Cássia
