The 2019 Calgary Stampeders season was the 62nd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 85th overall. The Stampeders finished with a 12–6 record and hosted the West Semi-Final game in a year where they were also hosting the 107th Grey Cup. Having lost to the Blue Bombers team in the aforementioned playoff game, however, the Stampeders failed to repeat as Grey Cup champions in 2019, marking the first time since 2011 where the Stampeders failed to reach the West Division Final and only the second time since their 2008 Championship-Winning Season. Despite the loss in the opening round of the postseason, the Stampeders qualified for the playoffs for the 15th consecutive year with a week 15 win over the Toronto Argonauts coupled with a loss by the Ottawa Redblacks, the playoff berth being clinched on September 21, 2019.[1] It is the longest playoff streak in franchise history and tied for the fifth-longest streak in CFL history.[1] The 2019 season marked Dave Dickenson's fourth season as head coach and John Hufnagel's 12th season as general manager.

The 2019 European CFL Draft took place on April 11, 2019 where all teams held one non-tradeable pick.[3][4][5]
