The 1968–69 season was the 67th season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division One, where the club would finish in 9th place for the 2nd consecutive season.[1][2] Domestically, Dundee would also compete in both the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Cup, where they would reach the League Cup semi-finals before being defeated by Hibernian, and by Heart of Midlothian in the 1st round of the Scottish Cup.

Dundee would change their shirt style for the first time in over a decade, replacing their iconic v-neck shirt with a newer jersey.[3]
