The 2019 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season is the 62nd season for the team in the Canadian Football League (“CFL”) and their 70th overall. It is the 150th year overall in the combined history of the Tiger-Cats and its predecessors, the Wildcats and Tigers. On October 19, 2019, the Tiger-Cats defeated the Ottawa Redblacks and recorded a franchise-record 13th win in a single season. The team finished the season with 15 wins and a perfect home record for the first time since the CFL went to an 18-game schedule, winning all nine of its home games.

The 2019 Forge FC season was the first season in the club’s history, as well as the first season in Canadian Premier League (“CPL”) history. On April 27, 2019, Forge FC hosted York9 FC in the inaugural CPL match at Tim Hortons Field. During the season, Forge FC also participated in the Canadian Championship, CONCACAF League, and the CPL Finals. On November 2, 2019, Forge FC defeated Cavalry FC 2–0 in the CPL Finals and became the first ever champions of the CPL.
