The 2018 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the participating teams of the 2018 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1–3) and a fourth team—the Wild Card Game winner—played in two series. These matchups were:
- (1) Milwaukee Brewers (Central Division champions) vs. (5) Colorado Rockies (Wild Card Game winner): Brewers win series 3–0.
- (2) Los Angeles Dodgers (West Division champions) vs. (3) Atlanta Braves (East Division champions): Dodgers win series 3–1.[1]
The Dodgers defeated the Brewers in the NLCS, then lose the 2018 World Series to the American League champion Boston Red Sox.
Under sponsorship agreements with Doosan, the series was formally known as the National League Division Series presented by Doosan.[2] The Brewers and the Dodgers won their respective series to advance to the Championship Series.
