The 2019 Calcutta Football League Premier Division was the 122nd season of the top state-level football league within the Indian state of West Bengal. It started from 26 July 2019. It had two sub-divisions: CFL Premier Division A and CFL Premier Division B.[1][2][3]

Peerless scripted history as they become the only club outside the Big Three—Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, & Mohammedan—to win the Championship in 61 years.[4] Eastern Railway did the same back in 1958.
