Regular season

The regular season began on Friday 15 March and ended on Saturday 27 July after 20 rounds of competition. Easter games in round 6 were again scheduled for a blockbuster Thursday night, with all teams then on a break over the long weekend. Games tipped-off again on Anzac Day as the tradition continued between the Kalamunda Eastern Suns and Willetton Tigers. There was also Women's Round in round 9 and Heritage Round in round 16, while the new concept of Mental Health Awareness Round was included for round 19.[1]

Changes for the 2019 season saw the Stirling Senators rebrand as the Warwick Senators,[2] while the East Perth Eagles relocated from Morley Sport & Recreation Centre to Herb Graham Recreation Centre.[1]
