The 2018–19 season was the 74th Crvena zvezda season in the existence of the club. The team played in the Basketball League of Serbia, in the Adriatic League and in the EuroCup.
Crvena zvezda won their first Adriatic Supercup trophy, the fourth Adriatic League Championship, and the 20th National Championship.
Overview In summer 2018 the team started with signing Milan Tomić as a head coach. Soon to follow were the players Billy Baron, Michael Ojo and two centers from Radonjić era: Maik Zirbes and Dušan Ristić. Zvezda also added experienced Stratos Perperoglou and Mouhammad Faye, as well as point guard Joe Ragland. The last one to sign was combo guard Nemanja Nenadić from development team FMP.
After the end of the 2017–18 season, Stefan Janković decided to part ways with Crvena zvezda even though he was under contract with them, with both parties having different views on his contract status. His contract status was since then under review by the Basketball Federation of Serbia and FIBA.
Crvena zvezda started the season well, convincingly winning ABA Super Cup tournament by beating last season ABA champion Budućnost in the final game. Tomić struck a great balance between hard defense and versatile offense, causing team to grab the first spot at the beginning of ABA League, as well as the EuroCup Group A. Bad streak in EuroCup during November caused the Zvezda to finish group phase on the third spot, which was still good enough for it to advance to the next stage. In ABA, Zvezda ended the first part of the season with 11-0, having defeated every opponent in the league.
