The 2019 Houston Outlaws season was the second season of the Houston Outlaws's existence in the Overwatch League (OWL) and their second under head coach Tae-yeong Kim. After finishing 22–18 the previous season, the Outlaws were looking to improve on their record and qualify for the season playoffs for the first time.

The Outlaws began the season winning three of their matches in Stage 1. The stage was capped off by a 1–3 loss to the Atlanta Reign that prevented Houston from qualifying for the Stage 1 Playoffs. Houston performed poorly in Stage 2, as the team did not claim a single victory in their seven matches of the stage. After the All-Star break, the Outlaws hit their stride, posting a 5–2 record in Stage 3 and qualifying for the Stage 3 Playoffs. However, lost to the Vancouver Titans 0–3 in the quarterfinals. A 1–3 loss to the London Spitfire in Week 3 of Stage 4 officially eliminated the Outlaws from season playoff contention. Houston ended the season on a 5-game losing streak to finish the season with a disappointing 9–19 record.

Sale of the franchise

On June 12, Immortals Gaming Club (IGC), the parent company of Immortals and Los Angeles Valiant, acquired Infinite Esports, the parent company of Houston Outlaws and OpTic Gaming, marking the first major sale of any Overwatch League franchise.{{cite news |last=Goslin |first=Austen |title=Immortals Gaming acquires Infinite Esports parent company of OpTic Gaming and Houston Outlaws |work=Polygon |date=June 12, 2019 |url=https://www.polygon.com/2019/6/12/18663066/immortals-gaming-buys-infinite-esports-optic-gaming-houston-outlaws-la-valiant-overwatch-league |access-date=July 2, 2019}} By OWL rules, one company may not own more than one OWL franchise. Both Riot Games and Activision Blizzard approved the sale, but IGC must operate Valiant and Outlaws as entirely separate entities, with oversight by OWL representatives, until IGC sell the Outlaws.{{cite news |last=Hayward |first=Andrew |title=Immortals GC Acquires OpTic Gaming and Houston Outlaws Parent, Infinite Esports & Entertainment |work=The Esports Observer |date=June 12, 2019 |url=https://esportsobserver.com/igc-acquires-ise/ |access-date=July 2, 2019}}
