The 2018 Indianapolis Colts season will be the franchise's upcoming 66th season in the National Football League, the 35th in Indianapolis. It be will the first season under head coach Frank Reich and second season under the leadership of general manager Chris Ballard.

Coaching changes
On December 31, 2017, the Colts parted ways with head coach Chuck Pagano. After two interviews, it was widely reported that the Colts would hire New England Patriots' offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to replace him, after McDaniels fulfilled his obligations to the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. The Colts announced on the team website that they had agreed to terms with McDaniels and scheduled a press conference with McDaniels for February 5, 2018. However, one day later, McDaniels unexpectedly withdrew from the agreement in principle to become the Colts' head coach. On February 11, 2018, after interviewing multiple candidates, including Leslie Frazier and Dan Campbell, the Colts announced the hiring of Frank Reich, formerly the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator.
