# 2018–19 Parma Calcio 1913 season

The 2018–19 season was Parma Calcio 1913's first season in Serie A since bankruptcy in 2015. The club competed in Serie A and in the Coppa Italia.
On 23 July 2018, Parma were handed a 5 point deduction for the 2018–19 Serie A season, following text messages from Parma player Emanuele Calaiò "eliciting a reduced effort" from two players of Spezia, a match Parma won 2–0 to secure promotion last season. However, that ban was overturned on 9 August following a decision by the Italian Football Federation's Board of Appeal.
