The '''2018 J3 League''' (referred to as the '''2018 [[Meiji Yasuda Life|Meiji Yasuda]] J3 League''' (2018 明治安田生命J3リーグ) for sponsorship reasons) was the 5th season of [[J3 League]] under its current name.

==Clubs== [[2017 J3 League|Tochigi SC]], the [[2017 J3 League]] runners-up, earned promotion to the [[J2 League]] after securing another runners-up season; this time, unlike [[2016 J3 League|2016]], it was enough to clinch direct promotion. Defending champions are [[Blaublitz Akita]], which became the first club not to gain promotion after winning the championship since J3's inception. [[Thespakusatsu Gunma]] was the new entry for the league: it was their first third division season since [[2004 Japan Football League|2004]], when they were promoted to J2 from JFL.

No promotion from [[Japan Football League]] came this time. This was another first for the J3 League since its inception. {|class="wikitable sortable" !Club !!Location !!Venue !!Capacity |- |[[Azul Claro Numazu]]||[[Numazu, Shizuoka|Numazu]]||[[Shizuoka Ashitaka Athletic Stadium|Ashitaka Stadium]]||10,000 |- |[[Blaublitz Akita]]||[[Akita, Akita|Akita]]||[[Akigin Stadium]]||4,992 |- |[[Fukushima United FC]]||[[Fukushima, Fukushima|Fukushima]]||[[Toho Stadium]]||21,000 |- |[[Gainare Tottori]]||[[Tottori, Tottori|Tottori]]||[[Tottori Bank Bird Stadium|Bird Stadium]]||16,033 |- |[[Giravanz Kitakyushu]]||[[Kitakyushu]]||[[Kitakyushu Stadium]]||15,066 |- |[[Grulla Morioka]]||[[Morioka]]||[[Iwagin Stadium]]||4,946 |- |[[Kagoshima United FC]]||[[Kagoshima]]||[[Kagoshima Kamoike Stadium|Kamoike Stadium]]||19,934 |- |[[Kataller Toyama]]||[[Toyama, Toyama|Toyama]]||[[Toyama Athletic Stadium]]||25,251 |- |[[Fujieda MYFC]]||[[Fujieda, Shizuoka|Fujieda]]||[[Fujieda Sports Complex Park|Fujieda Soccer Field]]||13,000 |- |[[AC Nagano Parceiro|Nagano Parceiro]]||[[Nagano, Nagano|Nagano]]||[[Nagano U Stadium]]||15,491 |- |[[FC Ryukyu]]||[[Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa]]||[[Okinawa Athletic Stadium]]||25,000 |- |[[SC Sagamihara]]||[[Sagamihara]]||[[Sagamihara Gion Stadium|Gion Stadium]]||15,300 |- |[[Thespakusatsu Gunma]]||All cities/towns in [[Gunma Prefecture|Gunma]]||[[Shoda Shoyu Stadium Gunma]]||15,253 |- |[[FC Tokyo U-23]]||[[Tokyo]]||[[Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka]]||7,137 |- |[[YSCC Yokohama]]||[[Yokohama]]||[[Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium|Mitsuzawa Stadium]]||15,454 |- |[[Cerezo Osaka U-23]] |[[Osaka]] & [[Sakai, Osaka|Sakai]], [[Osaka Prefecture|Osaka]] |[[Kincho Stadium]] |19,904 |- |[[Gamba Osaka U-23]] |North cities in Osaka |[[Panasonic Stadium Suita]]
