The 2018–19 Leicester City season was the club's 114th season in the English football league system and their 51st (non-consecutive) season in the top tier of English football.[3] This was their fifth consecutive season in the Premier League. They also competed in the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
The season covers the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.
The season was marred by the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium on 27 October, shortly after a 1–1 home draw against West Ham United.
