The ground state rotational spectrum of the near-spherical top molecule S^{18}O{_2}F{_2} (sulfuryl fluoride) has been measured from 50 to 700 GHz. As for the parent isotopologue, S^{16}O{_2}F{_2}, it was necessary to use a non-reduced Hamiltonian in order to obtain a satisfactory fit. It was possible to determine six quartic centrifugal distortion constants (instead of five for a standard asymmetric top) and an additional sextic constant could also be determined. This ground state level has also been analysed thanks to a tensorial formalism developed in Dijon. Only two tensorial sextic constants are fixed to zero, all others have been adjusted. Although S^{18}O{_2}F{_2} is less spherical than S^{16}O{_2}F{_2}, the analysis was more difficult. It is partly due to the fact that S^{18}O{_2}F{_2} is oblate whereas S^{16}O{_2}F{_2} is prolate. The experimental quartic centrifugal distortion constants were found in good agreement with those calculated from the force field, confirming the correctness of the analysis.
