The 2018 NCAA Division II football season, part of college football in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division II level, began on August 30, 2018, and ended with the Division II championship on December 15, 2018, at the McKinney Independent School District Stadium in McKinney, Texas, hosted by the Lone Star Conference.[1] The game was originally scheduled for Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas, on the last year of a five-year contract,[2] but that contract was terminated in September 2018 to allow off-season renovation of the field for its primary tenant, professional soccer club Sporting KC.[3]

Valdosta State beat Ferris State, 49-47, for the championship.
