The 2018 U.S. Soccer Spring Men's College Program was the inaugural edition of the U.S. Soccer Spring Men's College Program, a spring season competition run by the United States Soccer Federation in which American college soccer teams use IFAB rules instead of NCAA rules. The season began on March 7, 2018, and ran until April 21, 2018.[1] The last round of matches were hosted by Wake Forest University.[2]

Six universities participated in the program: Clemson, Duke, Georgetown, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wake Forest.[2] Of these six programs, five are from the Atlantic Coast Conference,[3] and all are located in the Southeastern United States or Mid-Atlantic regions.[4]
