The 2018–19 season was Cardiff City's 120th season in their existence and their second in the Premier League. Cardiff were promoted to the top tier of English football league system for the first time since 2013 during the 2017–18 season. Along with competing in the Premier League, the club also participated in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

On 21 January, a Piper PA-46 Malibu light aircraft transporting Cardiff's recently signed player Emiliano Sala was crashed off Alderney, in the Channel Islands. The aircraft had been travelling from Nantes, France, to Cardiff. The wreckage of the aircraft was found thirteen days later. He was confirmed dead on 7 February. Two days before the tragedy, Sala was presented as a Cardiff player but had not decided on his shirt number at that time.[1][2] Cardiff and Nantes are in dispute over the payment of the transfer fee for Sala.[3]
