The 2018–19 Slovenian Basketball League, also known as Liga Nova KBM due to sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 28th season of the Premier A Slovenian Basketball League. Olimpija are the defending champions.

In the first phase, ten teams competed in a home-and-away round-robin series (18 games total). All teams advanced from the regular season to one of two postseason stages, depending on their league position.

The top six teams from the regular season advanced to the championship phase. These teams started the second phase from scratch, with no results carrying over from the regular season. Each team played a total of 10 games in this phase; as in the regular season, a home-and-away round-robin was used.

The bottom four teams entered a home-and-away round-robin mini-league where two best teams qualify to quarterfinals. Each teams plays 9 games in this phase.

Eight teams joined the playoffs.
