The 2018 USL season is the eighth season of the league and second under USSF Division II sanctioning. The previous season, the USL only had provisional Div. II sanctioning from the United States Soccer Federation (U.S. Soccer) along with the North American Soccer League, but was given full sanctioning for the 2018 season with a two-year deadline to meet the full requirements set by U.S. Soccer.
Louisville City FC are the defending USL Cup champions, while Real Monarchs are the defending Supporters’ Shield champions.
The season begins on March 16 and ends on October 14. The top eight finishers in each conference qualifies for the playoffs.
