The 2018 European Le Mans Series was the fifteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series.
The rounds at Silverstone and Paul Ricard swapped their places in the calendar, with the French circuit hosting the opening round and Silverstone moving to an August date, once again in conjunction with the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The official pre-season test also returned to Paul Ricard after a one-year absence, having taken place at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza in 2017.
