Pre-season

Before the 2019 A-League Grand Final, Adelaide United confirmed Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had left the club and joined new A-League club, Western United on 20 March.[4]

On 15 May, Adelaide United updated their squad with Baba Diawara, Scott Galloway, and Jordy Thomassen departing Adelaide.[5] It was announced that Galloway had then signed for his new club, Melbourne City ahead of this current season.[6]

Three days later, it was announced that Isaías, who had recently become an Australian citizen, departed the club.[7] Over a month later, he joined Qatari club Al-Wakrah.[8]

In June, Adelaide United appointed former player Bruce Djite as the Director of Football.[9] On 5 June, Vince Lia and Lachlan Brook re-signed with the club.[10]

On 5 July, Riley McGree signed for Adelaide United and was assigned the "number 8" shirt.[11] In mid-July, Reds signed Curaçao international, Michaël Maria from Charlotte Independence,[12] whilst Craig Goodwin departed the club to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda.[13]

Adelaide United played their first pre-season friendly for the season on 16 July, against North Eastern MetroStars, which resulted in a 3–1 victory.[14] A week later, the club played an intra-club friendly, with the senior squad beating the youth side 1–0, with Nathan Konstandopoulos scoring the only goal.[15] A week later, they beat Adelaide Raiders 5–0.[16]

At the end of July, Adelaide United signed Norwegian striker Kristian Opseth.[17]

On 7 August, Adelaide United travelled to Melbourne for the 2019 FFA Cup round of 32. They beat Melbourne Knights 5–2 and advanced to the next round.[18]

In mid-August, Adelaide United played a "behind-closed-doors" friendly against Melbourne City which ended in a 1–0 loss. Jamie Maclaren scored the only goal in the 15th minute.[19]
