The 2018-19 UEFA Youth League was the sixth season of the competition for under-19 club teams. It was organised by UEFA. From the 2015/16 Youth League season onwards, the competition will be played in a two-track system. It was contested by the under-19 youth teams of the 32 clubs qualified for the group stage of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League. On the other hand, the 32 youth champions of the strongest nations in the UEFA played against each other.

Mode

The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. The group compositions was the same as in the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League group stage. The teams played against each other home-and-away. The group winners went to the round of 16. The runners-up played a play off versus the winners of the Championship path. The championship path was played in 2 rounds with two legs. The 32 youth champions from the strongest nations according to the UEFA club coefficient qualify for the championship path. If any associations do not have a national youth championship, or if the national champion is already represented in the UEFA Champions League path, the next highest-ranked nation in the UEFA ranking takes their place.

If two or more teams are tied on points after all group matches((in this order)):

  • Points scored in head-to-head matches
  • Goal difference in head-to-head matches
  • Number of goals scored in head-to-head matches
  • Number of away goals scored in head-to-head matches
  • Goal difference from all group matches
  • Higher number of goals scored
  • Lower points awarded for yellow and red cards (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, yellow-red card = 3 points)
  • Draw of lots
