The 2018 Japanese Super Formula Championship is the 32nd season of premier Japanese open-wheel motor racing, and the sixth under the moniker of Super Formula. The season began on 22 April and is scheduled to end on 28 October at the same place after seven rounds.[1]

2018 is the final season that the Dallara SF14 chassis package—which débuted in the 2014 Super Formula Championship—will be used in competition; as a brand new chassis package will be introduced for the 2019 season but the engine configuration will remain the same.
