The 2018 Chicago Sky season is the franchise's 13th season in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The regular season tipped off on May 6, and concludes on August 19.[1]

The Sky started the season off with wins over Indiana and New York and finished 2–2 in May. However, the team couldn't keep the momentum and lost 7 of their next 8 games. The Sky ended June on a 3 game win streak with a 4–7 overall record. The winning streak didn't last long, as the team went 4–8 in July. All 4 July wins came against eventual playoff teams, but the Sky also had 4 losses against teams that would not end up in the playoffs. A 3–4 August meant the Sky missed the playoffs for the second straight year. They were 2 wins behind the 8th seed Dallas Wings.

On August 31, 2018, the Sky relieved Amber Stocks as head coach and general manager.[2]
