The Dons came from two goals down to draw their first leg play-off match against FCSB. On 22 August, Ellis Clark left the club to sign for Burnley for an undisclosed fee. FCSB won the play-off with Aberdeen finishing the match with ten players and dropping to the Conference League Group Stage. Young left-back Mitchell Frame signed from Celtic for £250,000.

October

After losing their first match in the Conference League to Shakhtar Donetsh, the Dons finally hit the ground running in the League with a comprehensive home victory against Dundee. This was followed up with a 96th minute winner by Marko Lazetić at St Mirren. They then suffered a humbling defeat by six in Athens, their worst ever European defeat. This compounded with a home defeat to Hibernian but ended the month with victory at Kilmarnock with Stuart Armstrong scoring his first for the club.

November

The Dons went the month unbeaten across the League and Conference League starting with a gritty goalless draw in Larnaca with the Dons finally holding their own with a disciplined defensive display. A home victory in the League against leaders Hearts as suffered their first league defeat of the season, Topi Keskinen's goal giving Aberdeen what seemed a surprising but excellent victory. However, a disappointing draw against Armenian minnows Noah meant the Dons faced an uphill task to qualify for the knock out stages of Europe. Despite being disjointed, they got a narrow victory at Livingston.

December

Aberdeen were knocked out of the Conference League after a home loss to top of the table Strasbourg. This was compounded with a heavy defeat in Prague, leaving the Dons finishing 35th out of the 36 clubs. A last minute equalizer seen them slip up at home to St Mirren but a dominant display with Adil Aouchiche scoring a double seen them past Dundee.

Toyosi Olusanya signed on a loan deal from Houston Dynamo, Ex Bayern Munchen defender Liam Morrison joined on loan from QPR and former Norwegian International goalkeeper Per Kristian Bråtveit joined as a free agent as back-up Nick Suman suffered an ankle injury.

Nigerian midfielder Afeez Aremu joined from German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern for £130,000. American midfielder Dante Polvara left for St Louis City in the MLS for £150,000.
