The 2018 Ohio Machine season is the seventh season for the Ohio Machine of Major League Lacrosse. The reigning champion Machine come into the year looking to repeat as Steinfeld Cup Champions. They would be the first team since the Chesapeake Bayhawks in 2012 and 2013 to do so.

The Machine opened their title defense on April 29 with a historic output from Marcus Holman, who scored a league record 11 goals in a 25-13 victory over the New York Lizards.[1] The team took a hard fall, though, losing ten of their last 11 games and finishing with a league-worst 3-11 record.
