2018 YNM Leuven Rapid & Blitz турнир станет первым этапом в шахматном Гранд -туре 2018 года. В 2017 году чемпион Мира Магнус Карлсен одержал легкую и уверенную победу , но в этом году, несомненно, будет новый победитель, поскольку Магнус не участвует, а значит не сможет защитить свой титул. Новыми участниками стали Фабиано Каруана, Хикару Накамура, Александр Грищук и Шахрияр Мамедьяров, ни один из них не участвовал в серии 2017 года. К ним присоединится Аниш Гири, который снова примет участие в Leuven , получив Wildcard.
