The 2018–19 season was Wigan Athletic's 87th year in existence and their first back in the Championship, after gaining promotion the previous season. Along with competing in the league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

Change in ownership

During the season International Entertainment Corporation (IEC) completed their acquisition of the club, stadium and training grounds in a £22m deal.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41636508|title=Wigan Athletic: Whelan family sells club to International Entertainment Corporation|date=2018-11-07|work=BBC Sport|access-date=2018-11-08|language=en-GB}} Chairman David Sharpe stepped down following the completion of the takeover along with other board members and was replaced by Darren Royle, his father Joe Royle and Thomas Chan.{{Cite news|url=https://www.wiganathletic.com/news/2018/november/international-entertainment-corporation-complete-takeover-of-wigan-athletic-football-club/|title=INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION COMPLETE TAKEOVER OF WIGAN ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB|access-date=2018-11-08|language=en-gb}}
