The 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series was the 23rd season of the Verizon IndyCar Series and the 107th official championship season of American open wheel racing. The premier event was the 102nd Indianapolis 500, with Takuma Sato entering as the defending Indianapolis 500 winner. Josef Newgarden entered the season as the defending National Champion.

The season marked the debut of a new universal aerokit, replacing the manufacturer-designed kits used from 2015 to 2017.

It was the final season for Verizon Communications as the series sponsor as well as being the final season that the series was broadcast by both ABC and NBC Sports. A new series sponsor was introduced and NBC became the sole broadcaster for the series beginning in the 2019 season.

Honda won the engine manufacturer's championship for the first time since 2005 as an engine manufacturer competitor. Robert Wickens won Rookie of the Year despite missing the final three races after the season was overshadowed by a near life ending crash by Wickens at the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono that left him paralyzed. James Hinchcliffe won the most popular driver award.{{Cite web |url=https://www.indycar.com/2018/FanFavorite2018 |title=Fan Favorite Driver Voting for 2018 |access-date=January 30, 2020 |archive-date=September 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180927155301/https://www.indycar.com/2018/FanFavorite2018 |url-status=dead }} Will Power won the 102nd Indianapolis 500. Scott Dixon won his fifth IndyCar title, and is now second to A. J. Foyt's all-time record for United States open wheel titles. Dixon won three races over the course of the season.

=Driver standings=

  • The Indianapolis 500 and Sonoma rounds award double points.
  • At all races except the Indy 500, the number 1 qualifier earns one point. At double header races, the fastest qualifier of each qualifying group earns one championship point.{{cite web|url=http://paddock.indycar.com/Portals/0/Documents/RuleBooks/Indycar_rulebook.pdf|title=2017 IndyCar Series rulebook|publisher=Verizon IndyCar Series|page=149|access-date=June 4, 2017}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
  • Entrant-initiated engine change-outs before the engines reach their required distance run will result in the loss of ten points.
  • NOTE: The distance run will be based on the total distance raced by that entrant with the engine in question, regardless of driver.

  • All manufacturer points (including qualifying points, race finish points, and race win bonus points) can only be earned by full-season entrants.{{cite web|url=http://epaddock.indycar.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=k8xdi-l5zaU%3D&portalid=0|title=2018 Verizon IndyCar Series Official Rulebook|date=May 29, 2018|publisher=IndyCar Series|access-date=September 15, 2018}}
  • The top two finishing entrants from each manufacturer in each race score championship points for their respective manufacturer. The manufacturer that wins each race will be awarded five additional points, which can be determined through bold in-line notation.
  • At all races except the Indy 500, the manufacturer who qualifies on pole earns one point. At the Indy 500, the fastest Saturday qualifier earns one point, while the pole position winner on Sunday earns two points. It can be determined through italic in-line notation. But, in Gateway, as qualifying was rained out, no point will be awarded for pole position.
  • The manufacturer with the most points from each race is noted by an asterisk (*).
  • For every full-season engine used during the Indy 500 that reaches 2,000 total miles run, the manufacturer earns bonus points equal to that engine's finishing position in the race.
  • Ties are broken by number of wins, followed by number of 2nds, 3rds, etc.
