The 2018 San Jose Earthquakes season was the club's 36th year of existence, their 21st season in Major League Soccer and their 11th consecutive season in the top-flight of American soccer.

The 2017 season was one of continued change under the leadership of general manager Jesse Fioranelli, with head coach Dominic Kinnear and assistant coach John Spencer being replaced by San Jose's technical director Chris Leitch and Director of Methodology Alex Covelo on June 25, 2017.[1] The San Jose Earthquakes finished the 2017 season with a victory over Minnesota United FC that sent them to the MLS playoffs for the first time since 2012.[2]

On November 24, 2017, the Earthquakes announced their second coaching change of the year with Mikael Stahre taking on the role of head coach. Leitch and Covelo would return to their former positions of technical director and director of methodology respectively.[3]
