The 2019 WAFL season (officially the 2019 Optus WAFL Premiership Season) was the 135th season of the various incarnations of the West Australian Football League (WAFL). The season commenced on 6 April and concluded on 22 September 2019. Subiaco defeated South Fremantle in the Grand Final by 96 points, the club's fourth premiership in six years and fifteenth overall. The 2019 season saw the introduction of a 10th team into the league, the West Coast Eagles reserves, after their alignment with East Perth was terminated in July 2018.
