The club finished fourth in the Premier League, qualifying for next season's Champions League, and were eliminated by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Additionally, they reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup where they faced Chelsea. After two legs the aggregate score was 2–2 and Spurs were eliminated 4–2 on penalties. However, after overcoming Ajax on away goals after two very dramatic legs in the semi-finals, Tottenham reached the Champions League final for the first time in the club's history. In an all-English affair, Tottenham lost 0–2 to Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.
Notably, the club made no signings during both the summer and January transfer windows. This was the first time in Premier League history where this has been done.
For the majority of the season, the club's matches were played at Wembley Stadium due to the development of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On 3 April 2019, the new stadium opened, with the first match being a Premier League game against Crystal Palace. Tottenham won 2–0, with Son Heung-min scoring the first goal at their new ground.
