Source-derived summary

The 2018–19 Sri Lanka Champions League, known as the 2018–19 Dialog Champions League due to sponsorship reasons, was the 34th season of the Sri Lanka Champions League, the top-tier football league in Sri Lanka. The season started on 21 October 2018, rather than the original scheduled date of June, due to the 2018 SAFF Championship, and ended on 24 February 2019.

Teams

A total of 18 teams competed in the league. Colombo were the defending champions, having won the previous three titles. Police and Moragasmulla were relegated at the end of the previous season, and were replaced by promoted teams Red Stars and Ratnam.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “football league season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55388162. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018 and 2019.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
