The season proved to be exceptional for the club in various aspects. After a four-season drought, Slovan finally regained the league title, a feat they had last accomplished in the 2013–14 season. Slovan clinched the title on 14 April 2019, with six rounds remaining in the competition.[1] Andraž Šporar emerged as the league's top scorer, netting 29 goals and equaling the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Slovak First Football League.[2]
On 3 March 2019, Slovan inaugurated their new stadium, marking their return after an absence of over nine years.[3] On 3 May 2019, the club celebrated its 100th anniversary since its establishment.[4][5]
Having won the 2017–18 Slovak Cup, Slovan were the defending champions; however, they were eliminated from the competition after the first match due to an administrative breach of the rules.[6] Slovan also participated in the UEFA Europa League but were knocked out in the third qualifying round.
The season covers the period from 1 June 2018 to 31 May 2019.
