Il Campionato mondiale di pallavolo maschile 2018 è contestato dalle squadre nazionali maschili dei membri della Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), l'organo di governo globale dello sport. Il torneo finale si terrà in Italia e Bulgaria dal 9 al 30 settembre 2018. Per la prima volta il torneo sarà ospitato congiuntamente da più di un paese. 24 squadre nazionali dovrebbero competere.
Il Campionato si svolgerà in sei città italiane: Bari, Bologna, Firenze, Assago, Roma e Torino e tre città bulgare: Ruse, Varna e Sofia. Sia l'Italia che la Bulgaria hanno precedentemente ospitato il Campionato mondiale di pallavolo maschile. L'Italia ha organizzato per l'ultima volta l'edizione 2010, il paese ha anche ospitato l'evento maschile nel 1978 e il Campionato mondiale femminile 2014. Bulgaria, d'altra parte, ha ospitato sia le edizioni senior maschili che femminili nel 1970.
