The 2018–19 Quezon City Capitals season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1] The team concluded their season in the Division Semifinals, where they were swept by the eventual champion San Juan Knights.

Heading into the playoffs, Quezon City finished one game below .500 with a 12–13 record after stating the season 3–8. This was a decrease from their 5–4 record in the previous season. The Capitals claimed the seventh seed in the North Division and were matched with the second-seeded Makati Super Crunch in the Division Quarterfinals. They would go on to beat Makati in two games in a playoff upset and advanced to the Division Semifinals against third-seed San Juan. This time around, Quezon City lost to the Knights in two games.

The team played their most of their home games at the Blue Eagle Gym in the campus of Ateneo de Manila University. Other venues include JCSGO Christian Academy, returning from the previous season, and the Henry Noble Gymnasium in the campus of the Trinity University of Asia.
