Pampanga Lanterns seasons

The 2018–19 Pampanga Lanterns season was the inaugural season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]

Pampanga finished the regular season tied with the Caloocan Supremos for 8th place as both teams finished 11–14. Unfortunately, Pampanga lost the tiebreaker due to the team's head-to-head defeat against Caloocan. As of 2023, it was the only time the Pampanga franchise missed the playoffs.

All of their games were played at Angeles University Foundation in Angeles City. It was also the only season in which the team used the name Pampanga Lanterns, as they would switch to the Pampanga Giant Lanterns next season.
