The 2018–19 Bangladesh Cricket League was the seventh edition of the Bangladesh Cricket League, a first-class cricket competition. It was held in Bangladesh, starting on 21 November 2018 and concluding on 27 December 2018.[1] South Zone were the defending champions.[2] South Zone retained their title, after they beat North Zone by nine wickets in their final match.[3][4]

Prior to the start of the tournament, a players' draft took place.[5][6] The third round match between Central Zone and East Zone finished as a draw, under controversial circumstances. The umpires called off the game due to bad light, eight minutes after the scheduled close, with East Zone six runs short of the target to win.[7]
