The 2018 Quidditch Premier League season was the league's second, and was contested by ten teams over the course of the summer of 2018. The ten teams were split into two divisions, with the North Division composed of the Northern Watch, Yorkshire Roses, East Midlands Archers, West Midlands Revolution, and the debuting Scottish Thistles, and the South Division composed of the London Monarchs, Southeast Knights, Southwest Broadside, Eastern Mermaids, and the debuting Welsh Dragons.
During the regular season, each division held three 'fixtures', which saw each team in that division attend and participate in round robin games. In total, teams played 12 games each during the regular season, with a total of 60 games played in total. Based on the results of those fixtures, the teams were seeded for the 2018 Quidditch Premier League Championship, which all ten qualified for. The championship was decided with a knockout bracket format
