The 2018 Chicago White Sox season was the club's 119th season in Chicago and 118th in the American League. It marked the second season with Rick Renteria as manager of the Sox. The Sox played their home games at Guaranteed Rate Field. After losing to the Red Sox on August 30 they clinched their 7th consecutive losing season and their 11th year without a Postseason Spot. They began their season on March 29 against the Kansas City Royals and finished the season on September 30 against the Minnesota Twins.

At 62-100, the White Sox finished four games ahead of the last-place Royals, had the 3rd worst record in the league, and 29 games behind the Cleveland Indians; it was their first 100-loss season since 1970.

Notable moments included:

  • Second-year pitcher Dylan Covey going 5-14 with a 5.18 ERA despite slight improvements over his rookie year
  • White Sox pitchers finishing with a 4.84 combined ERA
  • Winning just 13 series
  • Going 1-8 against the Tigers with home-field advantage
  • Getting swept 14 times in the season
  • Getting shutout 10 times in the season
  • Yielding 10 or more runs in 23 games, comprising 15% of the total number of games they played in the season
