The 2018–19 season was Dundee United's 110th season, having been founded as Dundee Hibernian in 1909. It was their third season in the Scottish Championship, having been relegated from the Scottish Premiership at the end of the 2015–16 season. United also competed in the Challenge Cup, League Cup and Scottish Cup.
Summary Management United began the season under the management of Csaba László, who had signed an 18–month contract the previous season. On 30 September 2018, following a 5–1 home defeat to promotion rivals Ross County, László left his position as manager by way of “mutual agreement". On 8 October, former Hearts manager Robbie Neilson was appointed as United's new head coach. His first match in charge was a 2–1 victory away to Partick Thistle and Neilson stated that he felt he could replicate his success at Hearts and lead Dundee United back to the Scottish Premiership.
