The 2018–19 Batangas City Athletics season was the second season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]

After clinching the championship in the previous season, the Athletics started the season 4–6. They would then win 11 of the next 15 games to improve to 15–10 and enter the playoffs as the second seed in the South Division. Batangas City was challenged in the first two rounds, winning against Imus and Zamboanga in three games. In the Division Finals, the team met with the first-seeded Davao Occidental Tigers. Despite tying the series in game 2, the Athletics would lose in game 3, ending their title defense.

The team played most of their home games in Batangas City Coliseum, with other venues including Batangas State University and De La Salle Lipa, the latter marking the first time the team played a game outside of Batangas City proper.
