The 2018 Florida Launch season is the fifth season for the Florida Launch of Major League Lacrosse. The Launch are coming off their best year in franchise history, going 8-6 in 2017 and clinching the team's first ever playoff berth where they fell to the eventual champion Ohio Machine. They look to continue that success in 2018.
