# 2018–19 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season

The 2018–19 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 27th season in the Premier League and 41st successive season in the top division of the English football league system. Along with the league, the club competed in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League.
The club finished fourth in the Premier League, qualifying for next season's Champions League, and were eliminated by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Additionally, they reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup where they faced Chelsea. After two legs the aggregate score was 2–2 and Spurs were eliminated 4–2 on penalties. However, after overcoming Ajax on away goals after two very dramatic legs in the semi-finals, Tottenham reached the Champions League final for the first time in the club's history. In an all-English affair, Tottenham lost 0–2 to Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.
Notably, the club made no signings during both the summer and January transfer windows. This was the first time in Premier League history where this has been done.
For the majority of the season, the club's matches were played at Wembley Stadium due to the development of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On 3 April 2019, the new stadium opened, with the first match being a Premier League game against Crystal Palace. Tottenham won 2–0, with Son Heung-min scoring the first goal at their new ground.

#### Fixtures

On 14 June 2018, the Premier League fixtures for the forthcoming season were announced. Owing to delays in the completion of the club's new stadium, the first fourteen home games of the season were played at Wembley. Some fixtures were updated after Sky Sports announced their live TV coverage.

### FA Cup

Tottenham entered the competition in the third round and were handed an away tie at either Tranmere Rovers or Southport. Tranmere Rovers won the replay 2–0, claiming the home draw to play Spurs.

### EFL Cup

Due to Wembley Stadium not being available, and Tottenham's new stadium not being complete, the third-round tie against Watford took place at Stadium MK, the home of Milton Keynes Dons.
