I understand there are always more than one way to say something but which preposition is correct in this sentence?

Contact the team regarding/with/on/about this issue.

  • I would use either regarding or about. With and on are simply not grammatically correct in your context.

Contact the team about this issue and Contact the team regarding this issue are both correct and work regardless of whether the issue is a topic or a problem. You can contact the team about workplace rights or cancer, but you can't contact them "with" those things. You can also contact the team about a bug in their software or about a problem you're having with their software. In the last case, "with" would also be acceptable - though "about" might still be preferable.

Contact the team with this issue works if the issue is a problem whose details will be conveyed to the team. (Compare "if you are the winner, contact us with your name and address" - "with" precedes the information to be conveyed to the team.)

*Contact the team on this issue is wrong. (You could "contact them on an old Nokia phone", but "on" here would mean "using".)
