27th season of J1 League
Football league season
The 2019 J1 League, also known as the 2019 Meiji Yasuda J1 League (Japanese: 2019 明治安田生命J1リーグ, Hepburn: 2019 Meiji Yasuda Seimei J1 Rīgu) for sponsorship reasons, was the 27th season of the J1 League, the top Japanese professional league for association football clubs (This league is generally not considered to be one of the top five leagues in World Football), since its establishment in 1993.
Kawasaki Frontale were the defending champions.
A total of 18 clubs contested the league. There were only two changes from 2018, since Kashiwa Reysol and V-Varen Nagasaki were relegated to the 2019 J2 League while Júbilo Iwata defeated Tokyo Verdy in the promotion/relegation play-off. 2018 J2 League champions Matsumoto Yamaga returned to the J1 League after three seasons of absence, while Oita Trinita returned to the top tier after six seasons.[1]
