The next Valencian regional election will be held no later than Sunday, 23 June 2019, to elect the 10th Corts of the Valencian Community. All 99 seats in the Corts will be up for election. As per convention, the election is expected to be held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, initially scheduled for 26 May 2019, though the date is likely to be adjusted so as to make it coincide with the 2019 European Parliament election.

The election will be held after the first regional left-wing government in two decades came to power as a result of the 2015 election, where the People's Party of the Valencian Community (PPCV) suffered a spectacular collapse of popular support.

The 2015 regional election had resulted in the People's Party of the Valencian Community (PPCV) expulsion from the regional government after a 20-year uninterrupted rule. Amid a string of corruption scandals that kept shocking the party and brought down many of its historical leaders and icons, apparently involved in the scandals, the PP found itself leaderless and in a precarious situation.

'Operation Taula', a major police operation in Valencia that took place on 26 January 2016, resulted in the arrest of several former and current high-ranking members from the regional PP branch, as a consequence of the ongoing investigation on the PP's corruption in the region during its time in government. Judicial investigation also pointed to former long-time Mayor of Valencia Rita Barberá as a participant in the scandal; her arrest or imputation only being prevented by the fact she had legal protection as an incumbent senator. A few days later, on 1 February, all PP city councillors in the city of Valencia were charged for a possible money laundering offense, including new local party leader Alfonso Novo, as well as most members of Barberá's late government.
