The1993–94 Slovak First Football League season was the first edition of top flightSlovak First Football League annualfootball competition inSlovak football following thedissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993. The season started on 14 August 1993 and ended on 15 June 1994.
The 1993–94 Slovak Superliga was formed based on the six teams that competed in the1992–93 Czechoslovak First League (Slovan Bratislava, DAC 1904 Dunajsk Streda, Inter Bratislava, Tatran Prešov, FC Nitra, Spartak Trnava) and the six best teams of the1992–93 Slovak National Football League (the Czechoslovak second-tier competition) (1. FC Košice, Dukla Banská Bystrica, ŠK Žilina, Baník Prievidza, Chemlon Humenné, Lokomotíva Košice). These 12 teams contested home-and-away regular league matches totalling 22 games. The top six clubs then formed a promotion/championship group and the bottom six a relegation group, each group playing 10 more games.
It was a historic season for Slovak football as it was the first season to take place since the breakup of the former Czechoslovakia. Three Slovak teams qualified for European club competitions: Slovan Bratislava and DAC Dunajská Streda (both in the UEFA Cup), as well as 1.FC Košice (Cup Winners Cup). Of these only Košice (a second-tier team that had to take part in the qualifying round) managed to get past their first hurdle (Košice would ultimately be eliminated in thefirst round proper by Besiktas from Turkey).
At the end of the season two teams were entitled to enter the newly added qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, and one team would take part in the qualifying round of the Cup Winners Cup. These European places would go on to Tatran Presov (Cup Winners Cup), and two clubs from the capital Bratislava: Slovan (denied a place in the revamped Champions League due to insufficient coefficient) and Inter (who actually would have entered the Champions League qualifying round had they become champion).
