EFL Cup

See main article: 2018–19 EFL Cup.

The draw for the first-round of the cup took place on 15 June 2018 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with the ties taking place in the week commencing 13 August 2018.[62] Hull were in the Northern Section of the draw and were drawn away to Sheffield United.[63] The match was played on 14 August 2018.[64] Hull got off to a good start with Jon Toral opening the scoring on the 18-minute mark, both teams had chances to score but it was not until the 75th minute that Billy Sharp brought Sheffield level. The match finished 1–1 and a penalty shootout was required to find a winner. Sheffield got off to a bad start with Oliver Norwood missing his kick but all the other kicks were converted so Hull won 5–4 on penalties, to put them in to the second-round. The draw for the second-round took place the following day and Hull was drawn at home to Derby County, matches to take place week beginning 27 August 2018.[65] The match took place on 28 August 2018, and Derby County got off the ground after 24-minutes when Martyn Waghorn lobbed the ball over George Long on his debut for Hull. Florian Jozefzoon scored his first goal for Derby after 38-minutes and after 73-minutes he again shot at goal which was deflected in by Brandon Fleming. Mason Mount added a fourth just before full-time, leaving Hull to exit the competition 0–4 on the night.

FA Cup

See main article: 2018–19 FA Cup. The draw for the third round of the FA Cup took place at Stamford Bridge on 3 December 2018.[66] Hull were drawn away to their next league opponents Millwall with the match taking place over the week-end of 4–7 January 2019.[67] The match was chosen for live broadcast and scheduled for 14:00 on 6 January 2019.[68] The first-half saw Millwall have the better of the chances but failed to capitalise. Early in the second-half Jon Toral broke the deadlock for Hull. Following a triple substitution by Millwall after 64-minutes things turned Millwall's way with substitute Shane Ferguson opening their account in the 82nd minute. Three minutes later he scored a second to give Millwall a 2–1 victory.
