The 2018–19 Bulacan Kuyas season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]

Bulacan entered this season coming off a stunning upset loss against the Parañaque Patriots in the 2018 playoffs. After finishing as the second seed, the Kuyas only managed to place fifth with a 14–11 record, a lower win percentage compared to their previous campaign. They would then get swept by the Manila Stars in the Division Quarterfinals.

The Kuyas played most of their home games this season at Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium in Malolos. The team also played at Baliwag Star Arena in Baliwag for their first home game of the season.
