The 2018–19 season is Brighton & Hove Albion's 117th year in existence and second consecutive season in the Premier League. Along with competing in the Premier League, the club also participated in the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

The season covers the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

Brighton beat Manchester United at home for the second season running on 19 August 2018. The game finished 3–2 to the Albion. On 4 May 2019 Brighton's Premier League status was confirmed for a third season after bitter rivals Crystal Palace beat Cardiff 3–2 in Wales. This confirmation came exactly a year after The Seagulls secured their safety in the 2017–18 season.

In the FA Cup Brighton made the semi-final where they lost to Manchester City 1–0 at Wembley. In the EFL Cup Brighton lost 1–0 to Southampton at home in the second round.

On 10 May 2019 it was announced that captain, Bruno would be retiring from football. In his last game Brighton lost 4–1 to Manchester City. As a result City defended their Premier League title.

Brighton sacked manager Chris Hughton on 13 May, one day after the final game of the season, due to a poor end of season run of three wins in 23 games meaning Brighton narrowly secured survival by two points.

On 20 May Brighton appointed Graham Potter as the new manager.
