All editions of Jeux Sans Frontières 1998 were transmitted from Trento in Italy. Seven teams participated this year, with only Slovenia from the 1997 line-up of countries failing to take part. The 1998 series saw the first French victory since 1992, with La Clusaz winning the fourth heat. It was to be the last French victory in JSF. The year, however, belonged to Hungary, who won three editions including the International Final.

Heats are listed in recording order: the transmission dates are from France, which showed some of the programmes out of sequence.
