Winner Dinos Sfyris
Runner-up Elliott Mellor

Series 80 ran from 23 January (following Championship of Champions XV) to 28 June 2019. The fifteenth of 18 series presented by Nick Hewer, was won by No. 2 seed Dinos Sfyris who defeated No. 1 seed Elliott Mellor in the grand final.

This series saw the then-highest ever score achieved on Countdown: on 17 May, Elliott Mellor scored 152 points that beat the four-month-old record held by Zarte Siempre who scored 150 in his CoC quarter-final. Mellor set and broke several other records on the show to become the first ever contestant of scoring over 1,000 points in his octorun. After losing in the final, he is considered one of – if not, the – greatest finalist to not win a regular series.

Along with since Series 40 and 55, this six-month series was not disrupted by sports coverage.

And following Series 78, this series was the second where every Dictionary Corner guest did not appear in the Monday to Friday week.
