No team was promoted from the 2017 I.F.C. due to the rule that no reserve side who wins the I.F.C. (in this case Na Fianna 'B') can be promoted to the S.F.C.
St. Vincent's were the defending champions having defeated Ballymun Kickhams in the previous year's final.

Format changes for 2018 edit
In 2018 the Dublin S.F.C. moved away from the straight knock-out format used in previous years. The championship was split into two sections called the Senior 1 and Senior 2 Football Championships. Teams were graded as Senior 1 or 2 depending on their performances in the previous five Dublin S.F.C.s.[2]
Senior 1 Football Championship edit
16 teams compete in 4 randomly drawn groups of 4. The top 2 teams in each group qualify for the S.1.F.C. Quarter-Finals, with the outright winner of the S.1.F.C. representing Dublin in the Leinster S.C.F.C. The bottom teams in each of the four groups contest the relegation play-offs with the losers of the relegation final being relegated to the 2019 S.2.F.C.
Senior 2 Football Championship edit
15 teams compete in 3 randomly drawn groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 (due to the withdrawal of U.C.D. from the Dublin Championships). The top 2 teams in each group qualify for the S.2.F.C. Quarter-Finals, with the outright winner of the S.2.F.C. winning promotion to the 2019 Dublin S.1.F.C. The bottom teams in each of the four groups contest the relegation play-offs with the losers of the relegation final being relegated to the 2019 I.F.C.
Intermediate Football Championship edit
All reserve sides who played in previous I.F.C.'s will now compete in a separate competition among themselves known as the "All-County Intermediate Football Championship" (A.C.I.F.C.). All 16 first-teams compete in a separate championship in 4 randomly drawn groups of 4. The top 2 teams in each group qualify for the I.F.C. Quarter-Finals, with the outright winner of the I.F.C. winning promotion to the 2019 Dublin S.2.F.C. The bottom teams in each of the four groups contest the relegation play-offs with the losers of the relegation final being relegated to the 2019 Junior Football 1 Championship.
Junior 1 Football Championship edit
All reserve sides who played in previous J.F.C.'s will now compete in a separate competition among themselves known as the "All-County Junior 1 Football Championship" (A.C.J.1.F.C.). All 16 first-teams compete in a separate championship in 4 randomly drawn groups of 4. The top 2 teams in each group qualify for the J.1.F.C. Quarter-Finals, with the outright winner of the J.1.F.C. winning promotion to the 2019 Dublin I.F.C. The bottom teams in each of the forum groups contest the relegation play-offs with the losers of the relegation final being relegated to the 2019 J.2.F.C.
