The 2019 Washington Huskies football team represented the University of Washington during the 2019 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Huskies were led by head coach Chris Petersen, in his sixth and final year as head coach. The team looked to improve upon its 10–4 record from 2018. After the regular season, Petersen announced that the team's postseason bowl game, the Las Vegas Bowl, would be his final game with the Huskies. Respected defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake would take over the reins after the Las Vegas Bowl, firing two offensive coordinators within 24 hours. They played their home games at Husky Stadium in Seattle, competing as a member of the North Division in the Pac-12 Conference.
