The 2019 Yaname Electronics Super Formula season was the 33rd season of Super Formula, and the first under the title sponsorship of Yaname Electronics in a three year deal.

Reigning champion André Lotterer found himself out of a race seat for the 2019 season and therefore was unable to defend his title. Team TOM'S defended the teams' championship from 2018.

Naoki Yamamoto won the title for Team Mugen after winning four races, with Kazuki Nakajima in second place. Team Mugen won the teams' championship.

Race Calendar

Rounds 1-7 are raced over a distance of 250km. Round 8 is raced over a distance of 300km.

Sepang hosted the season finale, breaking the tradition where the season is finished at either Fuji or Suzuka.
However the experiment was unsuccessful as it failed to attract a larger attendance figure and from 2020 onwards the season finale was once again held in Japan.
