The 2019 Philippines Football League was the third season of the Philippines Football League (PFL), the professional football league of the Philippines. Ceres–Negros are the defending champions. This marks the revival of the Philippines Football League as the league folded after the 2018 season to give way for the Philippine Premier League, intended as a successor league to the PFL, which proved to be short-lived.

The 2019 season started on May 25, 2019,^[2]^[3] and ended on October 19, 2019.^[4]

Ceres–Negros won their second title on October 12, 2019, by winning over Green Archers United 3–1 with two matches to spare.^[5] On October 19, 2019, Ceres beat rivals Kaya–Iloilo 3–0 to complete the first 3-peat in PFL History and by doing so got their 22nd PFL victory, leading them to the first invincibles this season.
