====Summary====
=====September–October=====
Bengaluru kicked off their campaign against defending champions [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] on 30 September 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiansuperleague.com/schedule-fixtures|title=Indian Super League – Fixtures|access-date=25 August 2018}}</ref> Bengaluru FC started the game in a 4–2–3–1 with new signings [[Albert Serrán]] and [[Xisco Hernández]] making their ISL debut for the club. [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] broke the deadlock in the 41st minute to earn the lead for the home team. Bengaluru continued to attack in the second half, but none of the team could score the goal and Bengaluru registered the first win of the 2018–19 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-chennaiyin/f86vvndbb0ngqfdsa8o0trvu|title=ISL 2018-19: Miku strike helps Bengaluru FC break their home curse against Chennaiyin FC|date=30 September 2018|first=Sooraj|last=Kamath}}</ref> Playing against [[Jamshedpur FC]] on 7 October, [[Nishu Kumar]] got the lead for Bengaluru at the stroke of half time with a long-range effort. Bengaluru paid for the missed chances as the substitute [[Gourav Mukhi]] scored an equalizer in the 81st minute. Bengaluru restored the lead in 87th minute when [[Sunil Chhetri]] scored goal from [[Harmanjot Khabra]]'s lobbed pass. However, Bengaluru failed to secure all 3 points when [[Sergio Cidoncha]] scored the equalizer in the last minute and the game ended 2–2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-jamshedpur/gsvvhce7zb7nwx31pih4m6i2|title=ISL 2018-19: Mario Arques stars as Jamshedpur FC hold Bengaluru FC to a draw|date=7 October 2018|first=Sooraj|last=Kamath}}</ref> After returning from the international break, Bengaluru played the first away game of the season against [[FC Pune City]] on 22 October. [[Sunil Chhetri]] scored twice in the first half and [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] scored another goal to wrap up a dominant 3–0 win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/pune-city-v-bengaluru/i4b49emrer4obr3r3zlyrt62|title=ISL 2018-19: Bengaluru FC outclass toothless Pune City|first=Swapnaneel|last=Parasar|date=22 October 2018}}</ref> Playing the next away game against [[ATK (football club)|ATK]], Bengaluru were trailing the home team when [[Komal Thatal]] scored in 15th minute. Bengaluru equalized just before the half-time when [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] converted the free-kick at the edge of the penalty box. In the second half, [[Erik Paartalu]] scored the second goal that proved decisive and Bengaluru won the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/isl-2018-football-atk-vs-bengaluru-fc-live-score-streaming-5427669/|title=ISL 2018: Bengaluru FC beat ATK 2-1|website=[[The Indian Express]]|date=31 October 2018}}</ref>

=====November–December=====
Before heading to the international break, Bengaluru FC played southern rivals, [[Kerala Blasters FC|Kerala Blasters]] on 5 November. [[Sunil Chhetri]] scored the goal in 17th minute from [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]]'s pass, but Kerala Blasters equalized in 30th minute when [[Nishu Kumar]] was adjudged to have fouled [[Sahal Samad]] inside the penalty box and [[Slaviša Stojanović (footballer, born 1989)|Stojanovič]] converted the penalty. Both teams continued the quest to find the winner in the second half. Bengaluru FC took the lead in 80th minute when Naveen Kumar could not prevent [[Nikola Krčmarević]]'s own goal and Bengaluru returned to the top of the table with 2–1 victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/kerala-blasters-v-bengaluru/report/mn3pa0vp5kd8ktzuigt1p3e2|title=ISL 2018-19: Bengaluru FC end Kerala Blasters' unbeaten run|date=5 November 2018|first=Nisanth V|last=Easwar}}</ref> Bengaluru faced [[FC Goa]] on 22 November. [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] and [[Erik Paartalu]] were ruled out because of injuries and [[Chencho Gyeltshen]] made his first start for Bengaluru. The visitors took the lead in the 34th minute as Rahul Bheke's backheel flick off Xisco Hernandez' week shot at goal found the net. Both sides were reduced to 10-men when [[Mohamed Ali (footballer)|Mohamed Ali]] and [[Dimas Delgado]] were sent off in the second half. Goa equalized when [[Ferran Corominas|Coro]]'s square pass found [[Brandon Fernandes]] in front of the goal and the forward's shot took a deflection on its way into the net. Just as Goa felt they were back in the match, [[Sunil Chhetri]] restored the visitors' lead in the 77th minute from [[Udanta Singh]]'s cross.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/goa-v-bengaluru/report/nwejcicq3rqh45z8840o34oa|title=ISL 2018-19: Sunil Chhetri turns match-winner as Bengaluru FC edge past FC Goa|first=Anselm|last=Noronha|date=22 November 2018|work=Goal.com}}</ref> Playing against [[Delhi Dynamos FC]] on 26 November, Bengaluru played without [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] and [[Dimas Delgado]] and [[Erik Paartalu]] was not named in the starting lineup after recovering from toe injury. With key players missing, Bengaluru failed to stop Delhi from creating chances and were wasteful in the chances of their own. However, Delhi remained goalless as they could not finish chances they created. The deadlock was broken in the dying minutes when Udanta jumped onto a loose ball and launched a low shot from outside the box. The ball took a deflection before hitting the frame of the goal and crossing the line and Bengaluru regained the top position on the table with 1–0 win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-delhi-dynamos/oqyoj3ys1nm7ppdvcp8buusq|title=ISL 2018-19: Bengaluru punish wasteful Delhi Dynamos to return to the top of the table|date=26 November 2018|first=Sooraj|last=Kamath}}</ref>
