The 2018 Charlotte Hounds season was the seventh season for the Charlotte Hounds of Major League Lacrosse. The Hounds started the season 4-0 for the first time in franchise history, highlighted by a 25-7 Week 1 mauling over the Boston Cannons and two victories over the defending champion Ohio Machine. However, the Hounds struggled to the finish line, finishing at 7-7 and being eliminated from the playoffs in the penultimate week of the regular season.

For the second season in a row, the Hounds finished last in attendance at 1,364 fans a game.[1] In 2017, the Hounds posted the league's worst attendance for the first time in franchise history at just under 1,600 a game.[2] This is a drop from their peak in their inaugural 2012 season in which they averaged over 5,700 fans a game.[3]
