==Offseason==

===Support staff changes===
* In December 2017, [[Brad Hodge]] was appointed head coach of the team<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/21756214/brad-hodge-named-kings-xi-punjab-head-coach|title=Hodge named Kings XI Punjab's head coach|work=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=26 December 2017}}</ref>
* In March 2018, [[Venkatesh Prasad]], [[Nishanta Bordoloi]] and [[Shyamal Vallabhjee]] were appointed bowling coach, fielding coach and technical coach respectively<ref name=":3">{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/venkatesh-prasad-appointed-bowling-coach-at-kxip/articleshow/63156880.cms|title=Venkatesh Prasad appointed bowling coach at KXIP|work=Times of India|accessdate=4 March 2018}}</ref>

===Others===
In December 2017, the franchise requested the BCCI to shift its home from [[Mohali]], [[Chandigarh]], to some other city. The BCCI, however, rejected the plea after some members of the IPL Governing Council opposed the idea. According to ''[[The Times of India]]'', two BCCI officials pointed out that charging the franchise a few extra crores for shifting the base would not be a reasonable idea since the valuation for the home shift would be difficult to calculate.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kings XI's plea to shift base from Mohali rejected|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/kings-xis-plea-to-shift-base-from-mohali-rejected/articleshow/62098764.cms|accessdate=16 April 2018|work=Times of India}}</ref>

On 13 March 2018, Kings XI Punjab unveiled their official jersey for the season while [[Kent RO Systems]] was announced as the chief sponsor of the team in a joint press conference.<ref>{{cite news|title=IPL 2018: Kings XI Punjab unveil their new jersey|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/ipl-2018-kings-xi-punjab-unveil-their-new-jersey/19197163|accessdate=16 April 2018|work=Mid Day}}</ref>

On 16 March 2018, the [[Punjab Cricket Association]] requested the BCCI to reschedule some of Kings XI Punjab's home matches as [[Chandigarh Airport]] was likely to remain shut from 12 May to 31 May due to maintenance work. The team was supposed to play four home matches at the [[Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium]] in [[Mohali]] from 4 May to 14 May, whereas the earlier home matches in April were scheduled to be held at [[Indore]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Punjab requests rescheduling of KXIP matches|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/punjab-requests-rescheduling-of-kxip-matches/articleshow/63325871.cms|accessdate=16 April 2018|work=Times of India}}</ref> On 20 March 2018, the franchise revealed their revised schedule, with [[Mohali]] hosting the first three home matches and [[Indore]] hosting the remaining four.<ref>{{cite news|title=IPL: Kings XI announce change of home schedule Big boost for 'Khelo India'?
